Overview from TheMovieDB

The Nightshift is an overnight regional television programme broadcast on STV in Northern and Central Scotland. The service, broadcast live on Thursday to Sunday nights from STV's transmission control centre at Pacific Quay in Glasgow, features highlights of archived STV programmes, STV News bulletins, showbiz news items and archive aerial footage of Scotland, as well as texts & e-mails read out live on air by an out-of-vision presenter. The overnight strand initially began as a local six-week pilot programme in the STV Central region on Thursday 22 April 2010 before launching a second edition for the STV North region on 13 July 2010. On Tuesday 12 April 2011, a separate edition of The Nightshift began airing in each of STV's four sub-regional areas used for news opt-outs and local advertising: ⁕Glasgow and West Central Scotland ⁕Edinburgh and East Central Scotland ⁕Aberdeen, the North East, Highlands and Islands ⁕Dundee, Tayside and North East Fife The sub-regional programmes were axed in October 2011 and replaced with a single pan-regional edition serving both of the Northern and Central areas. As of December 2011, the programme was cut from seven to four nights a week, airing on Thursday - Sunday nights. News opt-outs for the four sub-regions on Thursdays and Fridays were retained.

About the Movie Section

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).

Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.

Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)

While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).

Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
