ICTChris Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 A night dedicated to the French monarchy would be relevant to peoplein Scotland who are interested in French history, surely? I watched Simon Schama's History of the Jews, not a single mention of Scotland in there but I thought it was interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Mary Queen of Scots married a Frenchman, so that would make it relevant to Scots anyway, according to Colkitto, although he appears to deny this in post *397.

Sergeant Wilson Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Up to 1603 it's all pretty much irrelevant to Scotland Wait till half four. Coach Trip is on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forest_Fifer Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Would a night devoted to the French monarchy cater for a Scottish audience? So are you playing the same game with me then? Refuse to answer, ask a completely stupid question, then keep asking it till I get tired of you? Edit to add. What sort of programs would in your opinion cater for Scottish audiences?

Refuse to answer, ask a completely stupid question, then keep asking it till I get tired of you? Edit to add. What sort of programs would in your opinion cater for Scottish audiences? No, what I'm pointing out to you is the relevancy of both the English and French monarchy to Scotland. So I'll ask again. Would a night devoted to the French monarchy cater for a Scottish audience?

Yes, it would, a night dedicated to the French monarchy would be relevant to those in Scotland who have an interest in French history. What if you don't have an interest in either the French or English history? These are the histories of other countries. Why are the viewers in Scotland given no option but to view programmes that cater for another country? Why can't I sit down and watch programmes about the Scottish monarchy?

Colkitto Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 So whenever James V1 acquired another kingdom, everything prior to his acceding of that throne had no relevance to subsequent events/history? When exactly is the cut off point for "relevancy"? I've already told you, up to 1603 is the history of another country Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I've already told you, up to 1603 is the history of another country So it's not relevant to James V1 rule of that country? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Glad Colkitto wasn't setting my school or university's history curriculum's otherwise it would have been 6 years of fucking boredom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Glad Colkitto wasn't setting my school or university's history curriculum's otherwise it would have been 6 years of fucking boredom. But at least it would have been "relevant". And if you had become a TV producer, think of the programmes you could have made targeting a Scottish audience.

There have been programs made about the Scottish monarchy. Neil Oliver did a very good one a while back. I wouldn't expect to see it on prime time National Tv though. Not sure how you've got here from University Challenge not "catering" for Scottish audiences though. Whatever that means. Does Pointless only cater for Scottish audiences when Scots are on it?

Colkitto Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 So it's not relevant to James V1 rule of that country? When did James VI rule that country? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if you don't have an interest in either the French or English history? These are the histories of other countries. Well if you don't have an interest in French history, don't watch an evening of programmes about the French monarchy. Also, many people are interested in the history of other countries. I studied history for a couple of terms at University and most of what I studied was about other countries history. WHen I was a kid I was fascinated by Roman history and read books and watched films about it Just because something isn't about your country doesn't mean you can't appreciate it or enjoy it. Why are the viewers in Scotland given no option but to view programmes that cater for another country? Why can't I sit down and watch programmes about the Scottish monarchy? As you yourself answered above, programmes cater for those who are interested in them, no matter which country they are broadcast in. I'm sure there are plenty of people in England who don't care about the Tudors. As to why you can't sit down and watch programmes about the Scottish monarchy, well you can - there have been plenty of programmes made about Scottish history in recent years. We don't want some sort of dismal cultural Barnett formula where everytime there's a programme about the Tudors BBC Scotland have to knock up one about Macbeth or something like that.
