Da la san Damhair/Two days in October

Comedy mockumentary. Follow six characters through five interwoven stories over two days in October as they travel to the Mod, being held in the city.

Gach bliadhna bidh 脿ite air choireigin ann an Alba a' cur f脿ilte air a' Mh貌d. A h-uile D脿mhair, bidh sluagh 脿s gach ce脿rnaidh den t-saoghal a siubhal thuige. Anns a' chomadaidh 霉r seo, leanaidh sinn sianar dhiubh sin 's iad a d猫anamh air a' Mh貌d anns a' bhaile mh貌r. Thairis air uair a th矛de, coinnichidh sinn ri 'Ishi' seinneadair 貌g le tarraing 霉r-nodha air 貌rain Gh脿idhlig; 'WD', a bhios ag aithris a chuid b脿rdachd a h-uile cothrom a gheibh e; 'Flo agus Lenny' aig a bheil taigh-aoigheachd agus air a bheil iomadh uallach a-bharrachd air leabaidh is bracaist; 'Neilleagan' am breitheamh, 's e sireadh 脿rd urram agus drama mh貌r; agus 'Torcuil', a dh'ionnsaich G脿idhlig, nach eil gann de bheachdan agus e deasachadh airson Farpais a Bhuinn 脪ir. A-rithist. Suas chun an fheasgar mus t貌isich an Fh猫is, leanaidh sinn an t-sianar thairis air d脿 l脿 san D脿mhair.

Every October the Mod takes place somewhere in Scotland.

Every October, people from all over the world travel to it. Join six of these travellers as they head to the big city for the Mod in this brand new one off comedy.

Over the course of the hour, you'll meet 'Ishi', the young singer with a very modern approach to singing; 'WD', the travelling poet who can't help launching into verse; 'Flo and Lenny' the B&B owners with much more on their plate than just breakfast; 'Neilleagan', the judge hoping for high honour and a dram or two; and 'Torcuil', the Gaelic learner whose opinions might just touch a nerve or two, as he enters the Gold Medal Competition. Again.

We discover what their connection to the Mod is, and follow them over the course of two days in October as they travel from all over Scotland; right up until the night before the Mod starts.
