A DRAMA filmed in Ardrossan will be back on television screens next week - more than 30 years after it was originally aired.
Critically-acclaimed Tutti Frutti will make its long-awaited return when the six-part series is shown again on the new BBC Scotland channel from Saturday, March 2.
Written by Scots artist and playwright John Byrne, Tutti Frutti followed the fortunes of rock and roll band The Majestics who reform to play a 25th anniversary tour.
Starring a stellar cast including Robbie Coltrane, Emma Thompson, Maurice Roeves, Richard Wilson and Katy Murphy, Tutti Frutti made its debut in 1987, achieving cult TV status before it toured as a sell-out stage National Theatre of Scotland stage show.
Ahead of the return of Tutti Frutti on Saturday, March 2, BBC Scotland will air the documentary, ‘Return of the Majestics’ where cast reflect on the phenomenal success of Tutti Frutti. Narrated by Billy Boyd, the documentary was aired to coincide with the National Theatre of Scotland’s sell-out stage shows which toured in 2006.
The new BBC Scotland channel launched on Sunday, February24 and can be found on the following EPG positions for viewers in Scotland - Freeview & YouView 115 HD / 9 SD, Sky 115, Freesat 106 & Virgin Media 108. BBC Scotland is also available on the BBC iPlayer.
