The documentary will be directed by Tony Kearney, a familiar face from River City and now Executive Producer at Solus Productions. Kearney, who was one of the original cast members – playing Scott Wallace for almost ten years after the show began in September 2002 – shared his excitement: “It feels special to have been involved in the very first scene of River City and now have the chance to watch the final scene being filmed.”

As a long-time River City fan, I was so excited to hear that Solus Productions is making a special celebration of Shieldinch for the show’s finale! Gavin Smith from BBC Scotland said it’s going to be a wonderful trip down memory lane on Montego Street, packed with classic clips and stories – honestly, I can’t wait to see it!
