What's the story?
Loggerheads.
Who are you fighting with now?
The list is long. But I'm talking about a new BBC Scotland show which pits two teams of woodworking experts against each other.
Did you say woodwork?
Affirmative. The format sees contestants go head-to-head with each other and the clock as they seek to turn freshly felled timber into spectacularly crafted pieces.
I'll need more information.
The six-part series, presented by comedian-farmer Jim Smith, tests the creative mettle of the teams as they traverse the rugged wilds of Scotland, visiting a different area each week and attempting to impress a local judge with their efforts.
First up is Glenlude, near Traquair in the Borders, where the opening episode sets the challenge of transforming spruce into something that will prove useful to the many groups who are working to rewild the woodlands.
Isn't it bad to chop down trees?
According to the programme's blurb, Loggerheads will use "trees felled as part of the woodland's management plans".

Anything else?
Freshly cut timber can be a tricky beast to work with at the best of times, but the teams will also have to grapple with an unrelenting adversary – the Scottish weather – as they face everything from scorching sun to howling winds and torrential rain.
When can I watch?
Loggerheads begins on BBC Scotland, Thursday, 8.30pm.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
