Since BBC Wales has the whole sci-fi thing sewn up for the Beeb, BBC Scotland has decided to create its own niche by ploughing a more supernatural course: the slightly poor Sea of Souls is back for a new two-part special but two new dramas have been commissioned. Empathy is about a former convict who has visions that he uses to help the police investigate a murder. Less exciting is Life Line, a supernatural love story written by Stephen Gallagher, who brought us the atrocious Eleventh Hour.

I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
