OUR LIVES: BBC FACTUAL STRAND RETURNS FOR NINTH SERIES ON BBC ONE

BBC One’s celebrated Our Lives returns for its ninth series – and will showcase daredevil wingwalking in England, the World Haggis Championships in Scotland, the UK’s first-ever ‘Dark Sky Officer’ in Wales, and rowers from Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland attempting to break a Guinness World Record.

Celebrating home-grown storytelling from across the UK, Our Lives continues to reflect the diversity and vibrance of British life, by telling extraordinary stories from ordinary people across all four nations.

Rhuanedd Richards, the BBC’s Acting Director of Nations, says: “Our Lives is a fantastic celebration of people’s resilience, passion, and determination, living in extraordinary ways across the UK.

“Telling these unique stories from Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and England, showcases how remarkable and authentic life across these islands really is, and how communities are brought together by amazing ways of living.”

England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland will each have three episodes broadcasting on BBC One and BBC iPlayer from Monday 14 July.
