This series of #BlueLights has been great, but this minute of TV is exceptional, and the drone shot to hand held is sublime. When one-shot was used in Adolescence I think we were all primed for it, but here I think it ups the jeopardy and adrenaline of the scene. 10/10.

The view from the top of Ben Lomond today. Of course, it brightened up on my way down

Absolutely brutal day of work recently at the Guide Dogs national centre. Sad to say I wasn’t able to save our cameraman from getting savaged (licked)

Just take 30 seconds to enjoy a 500-year old castle keep, amid the rolling hills of Carlingford and Warrenpoint

Enjoying a bit more drone flying, this time around the Doulton Fountain in Glasgow Green. Designed in 1887, but something I've never looked at in detail until now. Also, the People's Palace which is getting refurbished and the old carpet factory/West Brewery, where you get Glasgow's best beer

Really enjoying catching up on #TheTraitors (no spoilers please) but with that huge production budget, you're telling me they only found one bird sound effect that's repeated every episode?!

I've been in New Zealand for three days and learned that:

a) the beer is good, very good
b) Despite being Irish, I can cope pretty well in the sun and
c) where you're allowed to fly a drone, it becomes an absolute treat

A 30 second timeline cleanse here. The morning after the stormy day before, a Calmac ferry leaving a very still #Oban harbour #Scotland

A snowy train journey up to #Oban this morning. Stunning scenery.

Only just warming up from filming and producing at a very chilly Scottish distillery. We're looking at how sustainable the industry is, watch this space @ianhamiltonbbc.bsky.social
