He was 'my producer' at the BBC in Edinburgh where we did a couple of lovely projects including Mr America in the Movies and a series on Femme Fatales. When he left the Beeb and headed to the States I was bereft, but not nearly in the way I am now. A few months ago he approached me about writing a mystery thriller for television and he kept hinting that this was his 'last project'. We met a few weeks ago here in Edinburgh and he dragged me through a strange graveyard and then on to the Oxford Bar to soak up the 'atmosphere'. He kept alluding cryptically to his health but refused to go into detail and for that I could kick him. He was all of the things Graham describes and more, puzzling, infuriating and challenging. He made me rise to the bait and made me crazy and for that I thank him. He was a friend and I'll miss his unique madness. I'll write your thriller Ian. I owe 'ya.</p>angusmacinnesMon, 03 Aug 2009 16:34:00 -0000
