Staging a coup in broadcasting theatre

Scotsman.com: "PROGRAMMES about theatre on TV rarely work: some show you haven't seen, and will likely never see, filmed in an artificial style switching between alarming close-ups of people projecting to the back stalls and awkward shots of audience members stroking their chins. But Black Watch is different: the National Theatre of Scotland's smash hit has been to Scottish theatre what JK Rowling has been to children's literature, playing to packed audiences in Edinburgh last August and then on tour this year, generating the kind of positive reviews that normally have to be paid for (not that you can pay us Scotsman critics for good reviews. At least not with a cheque)."
