Moira Armstrong suggests in her letter about Sunset Song (2 December) that publicity for the film has implied that there had been no earlier attempt to dramatise my grandfather’s novel, citing the BBC’s wonderful 1970 TV version. She should rest assured that the director Terence Davies has consistently and generously credited Vivien Heilbron’s portrayal of Chris Guthrie as his inspiration for his 15-year labour of love. She and James Naughtie (Loons and queans and orramen, G2, 25 November) were concerned about Terence’s capturing of the landscape and language. But the film’s potentially toughest critics, the current residents of “Kinraddie”, the fictional setting of the novel, gave it a resounding Doric cheer when it was shown in Arbuthnott village hall, two miles from where Lewis Grassic Gibbon was brought up, on St Andrew’s Day.

Thank you for the excellent article by James Naughtie on Sunset Song (Loons and queans and orramen, G2, 25 November). He is right to be apprehensive as to whether the film about to be released can capture, as he says, “a love song for a landscape and language”. However, the publicity for the film and the article imply that there have never been any attempts to dramatise the novel – not true. So successful was the six-part television serial made by BBC Scotland in 1970 that it became a set text in Scottish schools, was shown on Masterpiece Theatre in America, and was repeated 10 years later as one of the most popular dramas to be transmitted. So, “the speak of the Mearns” was appreciated even in America.

Is this the smoothest newsreader ever? Joanna Gosling more than made up for missing her cue on BBC News this morning (October 27) with a suave recovery.
Gosling was late to start her report, but styled it out with a smooth "belated good morning".

When the news goes wrong: 8 of the best ever news bloopers
The presenter avoided a Tomasz Schafernaker-esque blunder with the move, and was able to continue her report.
It's almost a shame, as we love a good newsreader blunder at Digital Spy – who could forget the time Carol Kirkwood's seaside weather report was ruined by a squatting dog, or the times Nicky Campbell, James Naughtie, Andrew Marr, Jeremy Paxman and Bill Turnbull all dropped the C-bomb live on air?

Who'd be a newsreader?
Bill Turnbull was the most recent to c**t up the news recently, but he's only the latest in a long line of accidentally sweary anchors.
He's followed in the f**ksteps of the likes of James Naughtie, Andrew Marr, Jeremy Paxman - just some of the big names included in our affectionate compilation.
Poor Bill Turnbull accidentally dropped the c-bomb live on BBC Breakfast this morning. He says he fumbled the words 'clients' and 'customers', but we forgive him because it's given us a good chuckle. #bbcbreakfast #billturnbull #nsfw #cword #oops #BBC #funny

Even the most seasoned breakfast TV pros make the occasional slip-up live on air. James Naughtie, Andrew Marr, Jeremy Paxman... the list goes on.
Now, Bill Turnbull has joined that list of grandees after an unfortunate twist of the tongue live on BBC Breakfast this morning (July 21), confusing the word "clients" with "c**ts" while reading out an email sent into the programme. Here's your Nsfw moment for today.
Note: The following video contains a word which Ofcom really, really doesn't like
Given Bill's knowing look at the end of the video, perhaps someone senior had a word in his ear.
"Bill unintentionally stumbled over his words and we apologise if any offence was caused," added a spokesperson for the BBC.

Nick Robinson is used to hitting politicians with tough questions, but his next interview will be a much friendlier encounter.
The BBC's political editor will speak to Sir Alex Ferguson for a one-off special about the Manchester United legend on BBC One later this year.
Robinson is a lifelong United fan and even named Ferguson the "greatest living Briton" during his analysis of the Queen's speech on the Today programme.
Provisionally titled Sir Alex Ferguson: Secrets of Success, Robinson will discuss Ferguson's career and triumphs in the documentary.
The pair will get "up close and personal" as Ferguson chats about his leadership techniques, having retired from football in 2013.
Robinson said: "I've spent my career watching and analysing leaders for a living but I never saw one to match Sir Alex.
"Like a general leading troops into battle or the chief executive of a mighty corporation, he succeeded so much...

Nick Robinson has announced he is leaving his job as the BBC's political editor after ten years.
The journalist will be staying within the corporation though, as he moves to a presenting role replacing James Naughtie on BBC Radio 4's Today programme, the BBC reports.
Robinson has described it as an "honour" to step into Naughtie's shoes and said he is looking forward to hearing other people's political analysis.
He said: "I cannot remember a time when my morning did not begin with Today - the programme - setting the nation's agenda.
"As a child it was the sound not just of the latest news and the sharpest comment but also of my best friend's dad, Brian Redhead, who inspired my love of radio.
"I'm delighted that all these years later I am being given the chance to sit in what was his chair."

A BBC radio host has apologized for referring to Caitlyn Jenner as "he" during a popular show, which had drawn criticism on social media. James Naughtie had discussed Jenner's new name and life as a transgender woman, on BBC Radio 4’s Today morning program earlier in the week. "Now, this is complicated," Naughtie said. "He used to be called Bruce but he’s now a woman. I realize some of you will never have heard of Kim Kardashian, let alone her stepfather, who was Bruce and is now a woman but, anyway, they are very well known on television."

BBC News reporter Norman Smith made an unfortunate mistake during a report on Ukip leader Nigel Farage today (May 14).
The journalist was reporting on suggestions that Farage has turned the party into a "personality cult", but accidentally used the word "c**t" instead.
(Warning: This clip contains explicit language)
Smith quickly corrected himself and managed to continue with the report as if the mistake hadn't happened.
Of course, he isn't the first to utter the word on-air. Jeremy Paxman used the word after getting himself in a tangle about cuts on Newsnight, while James Naughtie and Andrew Marr slipped up on BBC Radio 4 when referring to then-culture secretary Jeremy Hunt.
Farage resigned as leader of Ukip following his failure to be elected as an MP last week, but he returned to the role a few days later after the party refused to accept his decision.

✒ As the BBC's use of nugs (plugs posing as news) becomes increasingly irksome – not only more of them, but they're allowed to spool on endlessly – competition to make the one that most annoys viewers and listeners in a given week has intensified. Last week's clear front-runners were Will Gompertz, for a five-minute Doctor Who-plugging visit to the Tardis repeatedly incessantly in news output, and James Naughtie, smashing Today's schedule to bits with a typically expansive appetiser for his programme on the Gettysburg address. No contest, for Telegraph editor Tony Gallagher. "So Radio 4 sport is now five minutes late as Jim warbles on," he grumpily tweeted, and retweeted approvingly someone calling it "somewhat ironic that the notoriously loquacious James Naughtie [is] doing an extended essay on a 270-word speech".

He said: ''That show puzzles me because it starts off and 'it's all about the voice'. ''So my first thought is, 'Why isn't this on radio?' because what's the point in looking at them.

Chalk it up to Mondays? On the BBC this morning, Radio 4 presenter (and aptly named) James Naughtie was discussing an upcoming interview with UK Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt. Yes, you can already see where this is going, can't you? According to the Daily Mail, Naughtie stumbled over Hunt's name, and tried in vain to cover his mistake with a faux "coughing fit" before "disappearing from the airwaves for 20 minutes."...

Broadcaster James Naughtie this morning accidentally suggested that the Today programme would be in conversation with "Jeremy C**t". Speaking on the Radio 4 show, the presenter slipped up when teasing a later interview with Jeremy Hunt, the Conservative MP for South West Surrey. His BBC colleague Andrew Marr then repeated the slip when discussing the incident later this morning. Naughtie said: "What's happening in the course of the next hour? Well next up after the news, I'm going to be talking to Jeremy C**t... er... Hunt, the culture secretary about... broadband." He latter added that he had "got into an awful tangle just before the 8am news, courtesy of Dr Spooner", in reference to the Warden of New College, Oxford, who was famous for supposedly mixing his words.

Bill Clinton's rumoured to have a walk-on part in Hangover 2. He's not the first non-actor to get on to the big screen . . .
According to reports, former Us president Bill Clinton has a walk-on part in Hangover 2, the sequel to last year's unmissable Hangover 1. A chance to recall a few classic movie cameos by non-actors:
Bruce Springsteen in High Fidelity
The Boss sits on a stool, plucks a blues riff and advises hero Rob to bid his past loves farewell and "move on down the road". Sadly, The Boss can't act – not even as himself.
Kurt Vonnegut in Back to School The revered sci-fi author appears at the door, doffs his cap and says: "I'm Kurt Vonnegut. I'm here to see Thornton Mellon." The movie's only classy moment.

In Stephen Frears's hands, Posy Simmonds's country comic-book tale of ego, lust and revenge makes effective, forthright entertainment, says Peter Bradshaw
The unpicturesque malice and boredom of the middle-class English countryside are cheerfully recounted in this broad Day-Glo comedy with brutal moments of violence; Stephen Frears directs from a screenplay by Moira Buffini, based on the Posy Simmonds comic-book series. It's set in a world where people stick their noses into other people's business, or turn them up or otherwise get them put out of joint – and so, fittingly, a nose is here something to be surgically fixed or broken with a single, vicious punch. It's like a particularly salacious episode of The Archers, or a Midsomer Murders with the violence left to the end and left casually uninvestigated. There is the taste of a McVitie's Boaster laced with mephedrone.
