You may have noticed that virtually all the media stuff on the site has been for radio. It's not that i haven't been asked to do stuff on TV, but apart from a few programmes for people I knew, I always declined. So many people nowadays see celebrity as something to be desired, but personally I much prefer the anonymity of radio to seeing my face looking back at me from the TV screen in the local chip shop or takeaway.

 Anyway, apart from these bits for STV, all of the TV I have done has been unscripted. But when they asked me to do a series of Evening Call, which had a huge audience being close to the evening news,I asked them if I could script them for just visuals and voiceover, and they agreed. The visuals were all filmed in what was then the very new St. Mungo Museum of Religious Life and Art in Glasgow. I thought it made a change from the usual set of vicars in front of assorted stained glass windows, and the producer seemed to like them - but they never asked me back.
