Jackie Bird presents a heartwarming festive show that celebrates those people across Scotland who have gone above and beyond in what has been another challenging year.
Joining in are some of the UK's most loved faces, including Martin Compston, Gary Lineker, The Proclaimers, KT Tunstall, Sharleen Spiteri, Greg Wise, Sir Chris Hoy, Scotland football captain Andy Robertson and Amy McDonald among others.
Jackie interrupts a live Del Amitri gig to surprise one of our nominees who was a lifeline to many during lockdown, and she heads to Aberdeen to meet two young football fans who fundraised tirelessly for the MS Society. She visits Peebles to honour the local postie, who happens to be a volunteer first responder who saved lives during lockdown, and joins a group of young people in Kilmarnock who want to pay tribute to a man who changed their lives. In Pollokshields, she meets a powerhouse volunteer who brought an incredibly diverse community together, and she pays tribute to a couple who used their own tragedy to bring music into the lives of terminally ill children.
It's Christmas and time to say thank you to Scotland's People 2021.

Beyond the Gates
Beyond the Gates is set in a leafy Maryland suburb just outside of Washington D.C., and in one the most affluent African American counties in the United States. Here you'll find a posh gated community with winding tree-lined streets and luxurious mansions to call home. At the center of this community are the Duprees, a powerful and prestigious multi-generational family that is the very definition of Black royalty. But behind these pristine walls and lush, manicured gardens are juicy secrets and scandals waiting to be uncovered. And those that live outside these gates are watching closely. These are the places where our characters live, love, work and play. Those who have "made it" and those who haven't are all trying to navigate life … and some with more grace than others.

World War II with Tom Hanks
For eighty years, the Second World War has remained the most devastating and defining conflict in human history. World War II with Tom Hanks is a landmark documentary event that reexamines the war through the lens of a new century. Told over twenty hours and guided by Tom Hanks, whose lifelong passion for this history has shaped some of the most profound screen portrayals of the era, the series captures the full arc of the war — from the rise of fascism in Europe to the fall of Berlin, from Pearl Harbor to Hiroshima, and the uneasy peace that follows. Each episode uncovers new dimensions of the conflict: the decisions that shaped the battlefield, the unseen networks that sustained the war effort, and the aftershocks that still shape our world today. "World War II with Tom Hanks" is the definitive retelling of that story for a new generation: a sweeping, deeply human portrait of how the modern world was forged in the fires of global war.
