At 9pm on Monday 30 October, BBC Alba will broadcast a one-hour documentary where I delve deep into my Sly Cooking project. Part of the series Trusadh, Mgr Ailein agus na Faclan follows my journey through Eriskay and South Uist as I find out what locals can tell me about the words in my book, before heading back to my shed in the Netherlands to make the art.
I enjoyed the experience immensely, and much of the extra information and sound recordings on this website were gathered during the making of the programme. Many thanks to MacTV, to Roddy Maclean, the director, and to John Archie Macmillan, my co-presenter.
