Today I would like to share - whether it be introducing for the first time or simply reminding of an old favorite - some of Scotland's finest moments on cable.

The first (and my personal favorite) is a sit-com produced right here in Glasgow's Kelvingrove park (a wee jog from our flat and site of my occasion hill reps or interval workouts) - "Dear Green Place."
