It's hard to believe that it has been 20 years since River City first aired on our screens and to celebrate the milestone, faces from the show's past will revisit the streets of Shieldinch alongside current cast to film a special episode. As well as this unique episode, BBC Scotland will also air River City: 20 Year Celebration – an entertainment show hosted by actor and presenter, Grant Stott.
Filming began this week on the special River City episode which will air around the anniversary at the end of September and sees Bob O’Hara (Stephen Purdon) and best mate Angus Lindsay (Scott Fletcher) wake up in a parallel dimension where all is not as it seems as they come face-to-face with ghosts from Shieldinch’s past.
Written by Johnny McKnight and made by BBC Studios Scotland, the storyline centres around Bob’s disastrous birthday celebrations where - after drinking a 20-year-old bottle of vintage wine with Angus - the hungover pair wake up in a world they don’t recognise, and their lives have taken an altogether different direction. As they navigate their way through this surreal multiverse, the friends come across familiar faces from Shieldinch’s past.
River City: 20 Year Celebration will debut on BBC iPlayer on Saturday, September 24 – the exact date River City launched in 2002. The anniversary episode of River City (along with the second episode of that week) will then debut on BBC iPlayer on the morning of Monday, September 26 ahead of its TX on the BBC Scotland channel at 10pm. This will then be followed by the entertainment special - River City: 20 Year Celebration – on BBC Scotland at 10.30pm.
