Pat Kane was presenting and amongst the guests was the brilliant Janice Galloway. Sitting quietly at the back of the cubicle was my mentor Ian. At the end of the show, he simply handed me his annotated script, scribbled with words of encouragement. What I learned from Ian and indeed the other Usual Suspects, many of them present here in these blog comments, paved the way for my radio career. It was a production team like no other.</p><p>More recently, in my work with Radio Scotland's archive Zones, I was keen to revisit those fabulous feature series such as Kane Over America and Dollar Signs but had trouble tracking some of them down. One call to Ian and they were delivered to the BBC, along with many, many more of his programmes which he had stashed away in his Edinburgh attic. Thank goodness they're all safely archived now and being heard again.</p><p></p>Elizabeth_ClarkMon, 17 Aug 2009 11:33:22 -0000
