A LOCAL historian has torn into BBC Scotland’s documentary of Glasgow, saying the programme shows the broadcaster views the city as a “backwater of drunks and stereotypes”.

The BBC’s Disclosure documentary, which aired on Monday evening, aimed to delve into claims that Scotland’s largest city had become “a 'no-go zone' because of crime, homelessness and antisocial behaviour”.
