This interview originally appeared in Radio Times magazine.
As Peter Capaldi talks about his new Apple TV+ drama Criminal Record – "a stylish crime drama with a contemporary edge and a noir-ish element", to quote his own description – he makes no effort to disguise his fondness for Elaine Collins, his fellow executive producer on the eight-part series, sitting beside him.
Friendly, funny and stylish in equal measure, she is just as affectionate towards him… which is rather lovely, as they have been married since 1991 and have a 30-year-old daughter.
In 2021, he sweetly pinpointed "September 12th 1985, under a street lamp in Glasgow with Elaine" as the greatest kiss of his life. It was their very first, soon after they met as actors in a touring theatre production.
They co-starred in the 1992 romantic comedy Soft Top Hard Shoulder, and teamed up again in Franz Kafka’s It’s a Wonderful Life, the 1995 Oscar-winning short film he wrote and directed. As Capaldi clutched his Academy Award he told Hollywood’s assembled royalty: “Elaine Collins was the real creative dynamo behind all this."
Since then, she has become a powerhouse in British television, bringing Vera to ITV and Shetland to the BBC, long-running successes both.
Meanwhile, Capaldi’s own profile has risen ever higher, with his award-laden portrayal of The Thick of It’s fabulously foul-mouthed political enforcer Malcolm Tucker, and of course his three-year stint as the 12th incarnation of Doctor Who. In 2022, when BAFTA Scotland gave him its Outstanding Contribution gong, he concluded his acceptance speech with a direct address to Collins.
"My darling wife Elaine," he said, "it’s your strength, kindness, wisdom and love that’s enabled me to have this career. You’ve always been there through all the ups and downs, and that you chose to share your life with me is the greatest luck of all."
And now here they are, working as executive producers together for the first time and talking to RT. "It was great," beams Capaldi. "Elaine’s the boss, obviously. She’s the person who really drove this show, pulled it all together and had the vision for it, while having to do the day-to-day business mechanics of keeping it rolling. I was just a sounding board."
Collins tuts at once, exclaiming, "You’re too modest. He was fantastic. We genuinely had a great time and it was amazing to have that support system at work and at home. Of course you bring it home – you’re living and breathing a show while you’re making it – but that was genuinely great. He’s always a support system for me. Hand on heart, we’re best friends."
Sitting listening close by, one of Criminal Record’s supporting actors, Tom Moutchi, smiles at the two of them indulgently. "Awww," he teases, "soooo cute." Capaldi and Collins crease up, as Capaldi agrees that "cute" isn’t a word usually linked with him.
"A journalist asked me the other day, 'Why do you scowl all the time?'" he recounts. "I said to him 'I’m not!' and he said 'Your face is a scowl.'"
"He’s cute to me," declares Collins firmly, although it must be said the role he plays in Criminal Record scores low on the cute-o-meter.

Abigail Lawrie interview with David Craig for Radio Times, 23.05.2023
Good Omens season 2 star Abigail Lawrie has revealed more about her experience working on the hit Neil Gaiman drama, adding to the already feverish anticipation for the upcoming episodes.
The show features David Tennant's demonic Crowley and Michael Sheen's angelic Aziraphale, an odd couple brought together by their mutual ambition to prevent armageddon.
Based on the novel by Gaiman and the late Terry Pratchett, the series was a runaway hit, with fans demanding it continue – a campaign that Prime Video eventually conceded to.
Lawrie will make her Good Omens debut in the second season, reportedly playing a Victorian gravedigger named Elspeth, and told RadioTimes.com she "absolutely loved" the job.
"It was such a mad, amazing experience," said Lawrie. "We shot it in Scotland and I got to work with Michael Sheen and David Tennant, obviously, who were just amazing and so lovely and so funny. A lot of the stuff that I did was funny."
She continued: "And Douglas [Mackinnon], who directs it... is just the most intelligent, fascinating man and he knows that universe so well, inside out. And so it was just amazing to work with him."
The actor currently stars in Paramount Plus tropical thriller No Escape, where she plays Lana, a young woman on the run halfway across the world with her best friend, Kitty (The Outlaws' Rhianne Barreto).
Lawrie added: "And the costumes were incredible. The sets were just vast and amazing. It was really like being immersed in a completely different universe. It was really cool."
Her involvement in Good Omens season 2 was confirmed by Gaiman himself on Twitter, in a post congratulating her for winning at the BAFTA Scotland 2021 ceremony for her role in Sky's Tin Star: Liverpool.
Alongside Tennant and Sheen, Good Omens season 2 also sees the return of Jon Hamm, Maggie Service, Nina Sosanya and Liz Carr among others, whilst Peter Davison, Andi Osho and Ty Tennant are just some of the new additions.
Abigail Lawrie plays a gravedigger Elspeth! :) ❤

Jack Lowden's new role in BBC crime drama The Gold.
The Scottish actor and BAFTA award winner, plays gangster Kenneth Noye in the four-part series, alongside Downton Abbey's Hugh Bonneville in the new BBC drama series which debuts on Sunday, February 12, is a dramatisation of the notorious Brink’s-Mat robbery, which happened in 1983. The robbery saw a gang of thieves escape with £26 million worth of gold bullion, diamonds and cash.
In the series, Lowden plays gangster Kenneth Noye, who was tasked with disposing of the gold bullion by melting it down and was later convicted of a murder he committed in a road rage incident in 1996. Downton Abbey’s Hugh Bonneville, meanwhile, plays Scotland Yard detective Brian Boyce, who led the investigation into the robbery.
Jack Lowden started in theatre 🎭 and in 2012-13, played sprinter Eric Liddell in the stage adaptation of Chariots of Fire. The following year, he played Oswald in Ibsen’s Ghosts, adapted by Richard Eyre, winning an Olivier Award and the Ian Charleson Award.
Lowden played Nikolai Rostov in the 2016 historical drama War & Peace, an adaptation of Leo Tolstoy’s novel of the same name, before starring as a Royal Air Force pilot in Christopher Nolan’s critically-acclaimed film Dunkirk in 2017. More recently, he played poet Siegfried Sassoon alongside Peter Capaldi in Terence Davies’ 2021 biopic Benediction, winning a BAFTA for best male actor in a film 🎥
The first episode of The Gold will air on BBC One at 9 pm on Sunday, February 12. All episodes will then be made available on iPlayer, allowing viewers to watch the entire series.
@Agree. The Gold is a captivating story of one of the most remarkable events in British Criminal history. The BBC has confirmed The Gold will replace Happy Valley in its Sunday night 9 pm slot from February 12.
@cathighfive The Gold will be released in the US on Paramount + and all international markets where the service is available in 2023 (date not confirmed yet)
@cathighfive My pleasure 💙 I hope this new drama is at the top of your list. Amazing true stories make for great TV. Enjoy it!

Professional Development 4 - Job Research (MG Alba, BBC, ITV, Channel 4)
I’ve been researching jobs through MG Alba (Gaelic Media Service), the statutory organisation responsible for the majority of BBC Alba’s programming. They offer an annual training scheme in partnership with Screen Scotland and the BFI, with successful applicants offered paid full-time on the job training on work placements across various Gaelic and English language productions on scripted Film and TV, factual programming, and other projects within the creative digital media sectors. Unfortunately, the deadline for applications for 2024 was the 8th of April this year, so I’ve missed this year’s entry deadline. This is quite a shame as the first placement this year will be on set with Black Camel Pictures on the previously mentioned new high-end Gaelic TV drama An T-Eilean, filming on Harris & Lewis and in Glasgow.
Black Camel Pictures was founded by Arabella Page Croft and Kieran Parker, and is one of Scotland’s leading production companies. Previously they made the hit musical Sunshine on Leith, and are currently producing the thriller Annika for UKTV and PBS overseas. They have delved into animated series as well, and were awarded a BAFTA for The Brilliant World of Tom Gates in 2021. With their new series An T-Eilean, they are breaking new ground with the first high end television programme in the Gaelic language, and seem to be moving from strength to strength. Now that I am aware of these major players in the industry, I will keep an eye on any opportunities to work with them on an exciting television or film project, perhaps even my own.
The training scheme through BBC Alba is worth keeping in mind for future reference, however, as I feel I’d be particularly qualified with my fluency in Gaelic and my practical film making skills. I wasn’t able to find any other active opportunities offered by MG Alba, but I’ll keep an eye out for anything that pops up. I’ve also been researching Astar Media, the Gaelic projects agency responsible for organising the FilmG short film festival every year since last year. The company’s managing director, Murdo MacSween, is my contact for all things in the Gaelic film scene, and gets in touch with me when it comes to any opportunities. He gave me a paid job on FilmG 2023 as a runner, which was a great experience. I recognised so many people from the Gaelic world, and made many new pals.
I’ve researched Astar Media through Insider, and found an interesting quote: “The Gaelic language finds itself at a peculiar crossroads - unprecedented intrigue meets uncertain sustainability. Despite the soaring interest, funding stagnates, unchanged for a decade and a half.” This lack of funding in the Gaelic industries has been a consistent theme throughout my research, and is only now seeing change as outside money from corporations like Netflix are required to fund new projects. This is good, also unsettling to have American producers working in the Gaelic language of my heritage – ideally our own government would have the budget to fund these projects independently. As intrigue is spurred on by this new investment in Gaelic, hopefully the government takes notice and follows suit by increasing funding. Astar are proud of their work in revitalising the Gaelic sector and working expressly for the language, handling projects swiftly and effectively with a dedicated team from across Scotland contributing to its operations. I’d have to reach out to Murdo personally to inquire about any vacancies at his relatively new company, only formed in late 2021, and this couldn’t be necessarily relied upon, as its team seems committed and steadfast currently. I plan to get in touch with Murdo to inquire about work following my graduation.
Production company Young Films has been another area of my research. They are an award-winning Film and Television production company based on Sleat on the Isle of Skye, and was founded in 1986 by Christopher Young. It has been established for over 30 years, and have produced a wide range of feature films and TV. They produced the highly successful The Inbetweeners and their first feature film, as well as Gaelic Drama Bannan, as well as the only feature length Gaelic film Seachd: The Inaccessible Pinnacle. Young Films are pioneers, making equally impressive programming in English and Gaelic. Working with this company would be ideal for me, as although I’m keen to utilise my fluency in Gaelic, I don’t want that to limit my work in English either. Tony Kearney, the director of Gaelic Dramas like Bannan and An Clò Mòr, was my case study last year, meaning I have a contact connected to Young Films, which could prove fruitful.
Young Films run a talent development scheme called the Young Films Foundation that aims to find and aid a new generation of Scottish screenwriting talent, connecting them with key players in the UK film & TV industry including mentors, inspiring experts and commissioners. The programme provides the successful Scottish screenwriters a paid script commission from an established UK broadcaster for a feature film or TV drama or comedy. Each participant will be mentored by an experienced scriptwriter during a year of script development (supplemented by a programme of in-person events and online masterclasses) with the broadcaster and delivers a first draft script ahead of an intensive week’s residency on Skye in September 2024.
This seems ideal to me, as a budding screenwriter, as it would give me the opportunity to pitch to experts and commissioners which the broadcasted could take into production or go into turnaround, retaining the rights to my script. This opportunity seems brilliant, as the worst case scenario entails that I produce a highly polished script supervised by industry professionals and get to produce myself independently. Best case scenario, I get a programme/film written by myself adapted into a programme for the BBC or another broadcaster, which would be a dream come true. The programme this year has been running from September 2023 and will run through until November 2024, so I would have to apply for next years entry. I plan on getting in touch with them to inquire about deadlines for this application, and how I can be in the best position possible for application.
I’ve researched careers with Channel 4, and found two appropriate apprenticeships based in Glasgow, one as a Commissioning Apprentice working on Daytime and Features, and the other is working as a Commissioning Operations Apprentice. They start in January 2025, and offer a salary of £23,170 for the year, as well as many employer benefits. The deadline for applications is soon, on the 29th of April this year, so I’ll have to put my application for both of these opportunities together quickly if I want to undertake this opportunity. These jobs offer a lot of experience in admin, office skills, and the problem solving often associated with business, and would be another great opportunity to help me get my foot in the door of the UK film industry. Downsides of this option is its lack of a creative role, which is primarily of interest to me, but I’m also certain there is a lot of creativity needed when responding to certain problems that arise. Another downside is that these are Glasgow based opportunities, and I plan on remaining in Edinburgh for at least another year. Plans can change however, and given the benefits of this apprenticeship, and Glasgow’s booming Film and Television industry, I’m sure this would be a minor caveat. I have many pals in Glasgow, and wouldn’t mind relocating there, if only temporarily, to undertake an apprenticeship like this.
I’ve also been researching opportunities with STV, but have found little luck with opportunities currently as they stand. They are currently offering a job as a Trainee Broadcast Television Engineer, which I am certainly not technically qualified enough to apply for. The deadline has as expired now, but they were also offering a part-time role for Roku Developer, a streaming TV service that is partnered with STV. Currently there don’t seem to be any open opportunities with STV for entry this year, but their careers page is certainly worth keeping in mind for future reference.
I am going to conclude my final post with some thoughts on a screening I attended recently in Glasgow, and how it reflects on the Gaelic film industry as a whole.
On the 16th of April I attended the premiere screening of the short film “Le Chéile” at the Centre for Contemporary Arts on Glasgow’s Sauchiehall Street. This is the first film to include both the Scottish and Irish Gaelic, and tells the tale of a Rangers and Celtic fan becoming friends on a bus journey to their remote countryside homes. I thought this film was fantastic, especially given its budget of only £850. It looked great, was well performed, and told an unconventional tale of two characters bridging a cultural gap without delving into the mire of sectarianism. Following the film screening there was a Q and A with the film’s director, Róise Nic an Bheatha, and I asked her how she came up with the narrative device of the bus, which I found to be a liminal, dreamlike space and perhaps a character in itself. Róise gave me a great answer, giving me insight into her creative process as well as describing the difficulties of gaining access to a bus on such a small budget.
Róise’s film is another example of the exciting directions Gaelic Film and Television is going in, with many firsts still possible in this relatively new industry. This is encouraging for me, as I hope to be one of these pioneers like Róise, taking my Gaelic films in interesting directions that haven’t yet been explored. I made some pals at this event, using my somewhat rusty Gaelic (Gàidhlig mearachdail) to discuss the Gaelic media industry as it stands. We discussed An T-Eilean (The Island), as previously mentioned, which went into production on the 22nd of April. Surprisingly, I was in the runnings to be cast in a main role in this series, budgeted at over 1M per episode, but I withdrew my application when I realised my Gaelic was not strong enough to speak the language and act simultaneously. This indicates to me that I need to prioritise re-learning my Gaelic language skills beyond the simple, conversational level it is currently at, as it’s vital to be more proficient than I am in this industry.
I had a Zoom call with Lana Pheutan on the 28th of April in regards to the Gaelic Film and Television industry, and she provided me with valuable insight on its shortcomings, recent developments, and requirements for positive change. We discussed the new Gaelic series by Black Camel, and agreed that the script read a little strangely. My reasons for withdrawing my application to act in the series was my inability to act while delivering the lines, as the script included many obscure, "old-gaelic" words and odd rhythm. Lana informed me that this may not have been my fault alone, as she has found that the script, instead of being written in Gaelic from the outset, was translated from a fully English script. Gaelic is famously difficult to translate directly from English unless completed by a native speaker, so this was encouraging to hear. We agreed that all considered, this high budget series was a positive development for Gaelic media, as it could promote funding to other areas of Gaelic Film and Television.
Lana gave me insight into her work on sketch shows like OMC, and we agreed that the humour and target audience were far too localised and niche to possibly reach a wider audience. We agreed that these kind of series needed to take more risks to appeal to a wider audience. Lana told me of old executives that were stuck in their ways, and a need for a new generation to get control of this industry in the coming years. This has been reflected in the response to Lana's own Gaelic language work. Her FilmG project 5.3 was the first Gaelic film tackling trans issues, and the wide reaction to it as pushing the envelope unsettled Lana. Lana believes that the Gaelic Film and Television industry were way behind the social politics of today, and such a reaction to what should be more normalised was unjust. Lana has experienced this were her latest show Glan-Fhein, with two female protagonists, which also was said to push the envelope for Gaelic media. This demonstrates how far behind the Gaelic industry is, and the wider reaction represents other people's will to take responsibility for progress that was ultimately Lana's.
We discussed the only Gaelic feature-length film, Seachd: The Inaccessible Pinnacle, which was released in 2007, prior to the start of BBC Alba. Lana says this is no coincidence, and that the primary fixation for those working in the Gaelic industry is now firmly in Television. We agreed that to speed up Gaelic's progression into current politics, there needed to be a new feature-length film in the Gaelic language that dealt with contemporary issues in a compelling way. I have now made it my intention to be the producer of this film.
This was a very helpful and informative conversation with Lana, and I feel confident in my insight into the inner workings of the Gaelic Film and Television industry, and fundamentally its need for a fresh start.
To summarise my final post on my Professional Development thoughts, it is clear there are many potential doorways into the industry for me to investigate. I am mainly interested in the 2 -year Master’s courses offered by NFTS, as well as the Gaelic and English language production companies like Young Films and Astar Media. The process of narrowing down to a shortlist, compiling cover sheets and CV’s, and demonstrating how my work over the four years of my BA (Hons) in Film could help me undertake some of these opportunities, is now up to me in my Portfolio submission. Looking for jobs in Film and Television in Scotland has been an enlightening process, and I feel informed enough to move forward with what I know and put it into action.

I think probably the only thing more enjoyable than working with David is actually getting to watch him perform on screen. In fact one of the difficulties of working with David is that you get a bit lost sometimes in just admiring what he's doing and enjoying his performance so much. But I think that this year in particular watching him perform in Des was extraordinary. I mean, I thought I knew how brilliant he was but I think he sort of pushed the envelope further this year with his performance. I've never seen someone be able to portray the absence as well as he did in that performance. It was chilling because of what was missing, and it was just extraordinary performance and I think him at the height of what he's able to do, the confidence to be able to just remove so much from a character and still know it's going to be compelling and it really was. It's not only one of the performance of the year but I think one of the great performance of the last, you know, decade. So, he's certainly my favourite Scot on screen, he's probably my favourite British actor on screen. And it is an honour to be able to know him and to work with him.

Batty was nominated for the BAFTA Scotland Lloyds TSB Scotland Award for Most Popular Scottish Presenter in November 2008, losing out to Lorraine Kelly.
Seán learnt Gaelic in preparation for the National Mòd in his home town of Paisley in 2013. He has been a supporter and Judge for part of the Breast Way Round Charity event since 2008. He is also an ambassador for the TV charity, The STV Children’s Appeal and haa raised money by cycling, running, walking and hiking his way around the country since it started in 2011.
In 2019 he was given his own show ‘Sean’s Scotland’, taking viewers on a journey around our beautiful country over the course of 7 weeks. The programme covered weather, environment, the people and wildlife.
