Dòtaman aig 30/Dòtaman at 30

Dòtaman aig 30 - a colourful celebration of the iconic Gaelic children's programme as it celebrates its thirtieth year. It is 30 years since BBC Scotland broadcast the first episode of a new Gaelic children's TV show, Dòtaman. Little did anyone know of the success the show and its iconic presenter, Donnie 'Dòtaman' MacLeod, would enjoy, as it became one of the most famous Gaelic brands on TV! Famed for its trademark hats, wonderful storytelling, colourful outfits and catchy songs, which Donnie made his own with his trusty guitar, over 400 episodes were made of the series over 16 years. This nostalgic and warm hour-long anniversary programme hears from Donnie and the team behind the show, as we explore what made it the success it was. With new renditions of Dòtaman classics and contributions from celebrity fans Michelle MacManus and Des Clarke, amongst others, we discover how Dòtaman appealed to all and enjoyed a true cult status in Scottish culture - even making it to the Edinburgh Fringe!
