The actor then added that the filming team are currently working out plans to resume filming.

On where the idea for the show came from, Sam told Holly and Phil: "I was talking with my good friend Graham McTavish and we were talking about doing a podcast, and it just grew into this TV show. We'd always been interest in Scotland and discovering more about the heritage and the culture of Scotland, the food and the drink and one thing led to another after a couple of whiskies and the show was created." The show will air in early 2021 on the Starz channel. We can't wait to watch!
