Peoples Millions

[cessna152towser]

I've been out all day working with the filming of a forthcoming feature about Teviot Wheels which will be shown in the Peoples Millions section of the ITV Lookaround programme. A day's work will be edited to a three minute newsreel feature to be screened in the ITV Borders and Tyne Tees regions on Tuesday 23rd November at 6pm. In the programme we go head to head with another community project as we seek £46,000 for a new community minibus for the town of Hawick. The project which gets the most votes gets the money.

This was the only shot I managed to get today which shows me in my Teviotdale tartan kilt which I was wearing, taken at the garage. I was busy all day being the kilted driver loading and unloading passengers and wheelchairs at various locations around Hawick.

Heather Batsch rests on the Frank Scott memorial seat on the Millers Knowes between filming. The large building with the red roof is Teviotdale Leisure Centre. You can just make out Stirches House, where Ann now lives and which was the early nineteenth century home of the Scott-Chisholmes, which is the cream coloured building up in the hills surrounded by trees.

Fiona Armstrong of ITV's Carlisle studio interviews Rosie Capper of Borders Chest Heart and Stroke group outside the office in Jedburgh. The houses in the background were built in the seventeenth century and form the ends of two of Jedburgh's many closes, similar to the closes off Edinburgh's Royal Mile. These buildings were re-furbished in the nineteen sixties to provide domestic and office accommodation.
