Why is that childrens programming doesn always match Scottish school holidays?
We and all broadcasters have trouble gearing children’s programmes to the wide variety of different term times around the country. Clearly we cannot plan a timetable which will suit everyone, so each year we do a detailed survey to discover when the majority of children are taking their holidays. This covers England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. When the survey is finished we choose those two weeks at Christmas, two at Easter, and eight weeks in the summer which will be the most common throughout the United Kingdom. If your holidays fall outside those periods we do apologise, but we cannot please everyone!
