River City set for format shake up as Scots soap moves to series
It’s all change for BBC Scotland’s River City as the acclaimed drama moves to a new multi-series format after the summer.
The show has been on our screens for over twenty years and the current run will come to an end on Wednesday, August 9, which will see the life of one character hang in the balance after a dramatic showdown goes horribly wrong. Gavin Smith, Commissioning Executive, BBC Scotland says: “This new format allows the production team the chance to delve deeper in to storylines and create more ‘must-see’ moments, which River City has become renowned for.
Louise Thornton, Head of Commissioning, BBC Scotland adds: “BBC Scotland is very proud of River City and we know it has an incredibly loyal audience who tune in to follow the drama in Shieldinch every week. That drama will continue but we are changing the broadcast pattern to allow us to keep delivering value to all licence fee payers whilst at the same time bringing more dramatic storylines to Montego Street.
