The return of The Scheme!!!

CONTROVERSIAL reality TV hit The Scheme will return to our screens later this month - complete with its infamous missing episodes.

BBC Scotland bosses last night revealed it will show the WHOLE four-part series from May 16 - along with a fifth bonus show.
Fans of the telly smash - charting life on two tough Kilmarnock estates - were left devastated last year when it was pulled after just two episodes, following the arrest of one of its 'stars' Steven McMurray.
By that time it had already turned dog Bullet and his junkie owners Marvin Baird and Dayna McLaughlin into household names.
Now the first episode is to be repeated a day before Dayna, 19 - caged for breaking a drug treatment order - is freed from jail.
And last night residents were bracing themselves for the return of the TV phenomenon which caused an outcry with scenes of domestic violence, drugs and crime.
Local SNP Holyrood candidate Willie Coffey said: "I'm not happy about that programme darkening our screens again. The community is up in arms about how they've been portrayed by the filmmakers." The Scheme - filmed on the Onthank and Knockinlaw estates - pulled in 508,000 viewers. But it was halted for legal reasons when thug McMurray, 17, was arrested for assault. He was later locked up for four months.
The show's return was delayed further when a second case emerged.
Now fans will see the first two shows on May 16 and 17, followed by the unseen episodes on May 23 and 24. A fifth instalment filmed this year will air on May 30.
Nearly 30,000 viewers backed a Facebook site calling on TV chiefs to "Lift the Ban on The Scheme".

BUUUUUUUUUULLLLLIIIIIIITTTTTT

 

Canny wait! Not!

 

when i was last in glasgow, there was a story in the paper about one of the guys in this show. he invited a load of neds that he met in a chippy round to his his flat for a party, and what do ye know? they end up beatin him with a hammer and leavin him in hospital. apparently it was for street cred or something.

 

Think it's a lot of pish personally. People just wanting to laugh at junkies.

 

Good good. Look forward to seeing the rest

 

I'm happy as Larry about this.

 

Took long enough didn't they.I'm not even that bothered anymore,embarassing how the junkie Marvin was made into a minor celebrity.

 

I know the sun even paid to get him new teeth

What is the show even meant to be about? all it really does is put in a few mad moments from a scheme so * can laugh at it

 

The mother of the accused coming out of court crying "they said he called him all the Bin Laden * under the sun". Pure TV Gold

Bullet The Dug emigrated to London.

 

I watched the show and thought it was very interesting but I dont think they should bring it back. Total exploitation, think of the effect this has had on their already shattered lives. these people were never given a chance in life and after this its probably kicked away the last leg just for the enjoyment of the rest of us. not on, competely unacceptable

as for bullet, LEGEND

 

Because I grew up in a cooncil scheme I find programmes like this interesting. But I have to admit Hunterhill was one of Paisley's better housing estates. All to often shows like this make me embarrassed to be Scottish though.

 

I'll be watching.

 

Bullet:icon_mrgreen:

the episodes are on youtube.

 

Wooo

 

Happy as larry, could naw be happier

 

Junkie, neddy Hun *
