TV Stars for the Day

PORTPATRICK pals Freya Stewart and Fraser Fulton were the envy of their school mates last week - after they became TV stars for the day.

The youngsters appeared on BBC Scotland's The Edge - a ten week series which examines life in coastal villages, towns and cities around Britain.

Freya (9) of Killantringan Lighthouse and Fraser (10) of Colonel Street, Portpatrick were chosen by producers to become ambassadors for the South Rhins after a short telephone interview.

To their dismay though, both missed last Wednesday's 10-minute programme because it was broadcast on BBC Digital, which neither of them have at home.

It was not until their teacher brought a recorded version into school the next day that they caught a glimpse of their moment of fame.

Nevertheless both had great fun making the programme.
