January 2005: in the past few weeks, I've been contributing to adaptations of scenes from new Scottish short stories for the latest BBC Higher English series programme.
Directed by Neil Scott and presented by maverick critic, presenter and actor Nigel Buckland (remember him from "Late Night Shopping"?!), the programmes will take a sideways look at some exciting new talent in Scottish short story writing.
Stories include
"The Queens of Govan" by Suhayl Saadi
"Tangerines" by Beatrice Colin
"All That Glisters" by Anne Donovan
"A Time To Dance" by Bernard MacLaverty
"The Face" by Brian McCabe
"A Deep Hole" by Ian Rankin
