Forbes Masson and I (or our alter egos Victor and Barry) hosted this interview series Scones and Tea with V&B on BBC Radio Scotland The conceit of the show was that the various celebs we interviewed (Liberal politician David Steele, Private Eye editor Ian Hislop, TV journalist Kirsty Wark and entertainer Nicholas Parsons) had all started their careers with the Kelvinside Young People’s Amateur Dramatic Art Society, of which Victor and Barry were the founder members. The first three shows were broadcast in 1988 but then bizarrely there was a three years gap until the last one in 1991. You can listen to them all below…
