 | | Michael Scott, the ancient “Merlin” of Scotland, will be brought back to life in a BBC Scotland children’s fantasy series, Shoebox Zoo, with the help of a celebrity cast including Jason Connery – son of Sir Sean – Peter Mullan, Alan Cumming and Simon Callow. |
 | | Scott, to be played by Mullan, is the “good wizard” guiding a motherless child, Marnie McBride (Vivien Endicott- Douglas), to the book of forbidden knowledge. |
 | | We filmed the first 13 parts of the series in Scotland, and are currently working on the second 13, when Marnie returns to her friends in Canada and realises that the book of know ledge could actually be found there when she visits her mother’s grave. |
