Jackie Bird presents a heartwarming festive show that celebrates those people across Scotland who have gone above and beyond in what has been another challenging year.
Joining in are some of the UK's most loved faces, including Martin Compston, Gary Lineker, The Proclaimers, KT Tunstall, Sharleen Spiteri, Greg Wise, Sir Chris Hoy, Scotland football captain Andy Robertson and Amy McDonald among others.
Jackie interrupts a live Del Amitri gig to surprise one of our nominees who was a lifeline to many during lockdown, and she heads to Aberdeen to meet two young football fans who fundraised tirelessly for the MS Society. She visits Peebles to honour the local postie, who happens to be a volunteer first responder who saved lives during lockdown, and joins a group of young people in Kilmarnock who want to pay tribute to a man who changed their lives. In Pollokshields, she meets a powerhouse volunteer who brought an incredibly diverse community together, and she pays tribute to a couple who used their own tragedy to bring music into the lives of terminally ill children.
It's Christmas and time to say thank you to Scotland's People 2021.

Secluded on a remote Greek island, retired assassin Julie has a somewhat thorny reunion with her estranged son, Edward, visiting from England. Armed with questions around new information on his paternity, Edward battles to find the right time to speak to his frustratingly distant mother. But, when the moment finally presents itself, things take a deadly turn as Julie's dangerous past catches up with her and they are forced to flee the island and go on the run together.
Jeopardy!
Jeopardy! is a classic game show -- with a twist. The answers are given first, and the contestants supply the questions. Three contestants, including the previous show's champion, compete in six categories and in three rounds (with each round's "answers" being worth more prize money).
All American
When a rising high school football player from South Central L.A. is recruited to play for Beverly Hills High, the wins, losses and struggles of two families from vastly different worlds — Compton and Beverly Hills — begin to collide. Inspired by the life of pro football player Spencer Paysinger.
The Food That Built America
For generations of Americans, food titans like Henry Heinz, Milton Hershey, John and Will Kellogg, C.W. Post and the McDonald brothers have literally been household names, but you don't know their stories. Before they were brand names, they were brilliant, sometimes ruthless, visionaries who revolutionized food and changed the landscape of America forever. This miniseries event will tell the fascinating stories of the people behind the food that built America – those who used brains, muscle, blood, sweat and tears to get to America's heart through its stomach, and along the way built cities, invented new technologies and helped win wars.
The Floor
The Floor is a physical quiz show that sees 81 contestants face off in quiz duels on a giant LED floor divided into a 9×9 grid of squares, each representing its own field of knowledge.
The first challenger, selected at random, must choose one of his or her neighboring opponents to go head-to-head in an epic quiz duel in the opponent's category. The winner takes over the loser's square, gaining valuable ground as they expand their territory, while the loser exits the game. The winner must then choose – do they continue on and attempt to secure another square? Or do they let The Floor choose a new challenger? The last contestant standing who gains full control over The Floor takes home a life-changing $250,000 cash prize.
