THE BBC is set to release a new series starring independence-supporting actor Martin Compston and his friend Phil MacHugh as they tour Norway.
Compston and MacHugh previously toured Scotland in the BBC series Martin Compston’s Scottish Fling.
The series saw the pair undertake a road trip around the country, visiting some Scotland’s most beautiful places and speaking to a whole host of inspiring people.
In 2024, the BBC will release Martin Compston’s Norwegian Fling, which will once again see the pair embark on an adventure.

According to the BBC, the new six-part series for BBC Scotland, BBC Two and BBC iPlayer sees the pair get to know the people and the places of Norway in a spectacular trip.
They travelled around 2000 miles from Oslo to the Arctic North, taking in some dramatic remote scenery and unexpected urban exploits.
“I can’t wait for people to see this series,” said Compston.
MacHugh added: “We’ve got some amazing adventures to show you.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
