Harry Birrell Presents Films of Love and War
10pm, BBC Scotland
Given his first cine camera as a 10-year-old boy in Paisley in 1928, Harry Birrell was hooked. Seemingly fixated on seeing the world through a camera lens, Birrell captured everything from his boyhood in Glasgow to his deployment to India to fight alongside the Gurkhas. His comprehensive diary entries, narrated by Richard Madden, contextualise this loving feature-length account of his life on film, highlighting the romance of everyday life and the traumas of war.
