The Scheme - BBC1 Tuesday 11.05pm.

ONE of Scotland's most controversial reality television programmes is to be broadcast across the UK, it was first screened by BBC Scotland up here last year and sparked controversy. The show, set in the Onthank council estate in Kilmarnock, became a hit with viewers in Scotland. Among the most popular characters were residents Marvin Baird, James McMurray and the Cunningham family. Viewers followed the life of "lovable junkie" Marvin, with then girlfriend Dayna and his dog Bullet, who became a star.

It showed how residents battled issues such as drugs, crime and unemployment. The Scheme was a ratings hit for BBC Scotland, offering a fly-on-the-wall look into the chaotic lives of six families on the estate. The final episodes of the five-part series were postponed for a year as cast members' court cases were resolved.

It's compulsive car crash telly and you will be watching most of it through your fingers, and like me you will probably end up thinking "how can these parasites afford 60" TV's in just about every room in the house" . I just hope that it's subtitled for the English and Welsh viewers or you won't understand anything other than f*ck and c*nt.

Eastenders?

Will it be subtitled in Welsh then?
