Flight into Danger Revisited

I’ve written previously on this blog about my pride in having been able to write for the Radio Times, a magazine the history and heritage of which is very much threaded through the story of British broadcasting, and particularly so for that of the BBC which owned it for the first 89 years of its existence. I’ve been pleased as well to have written a couple of other bits for them since then, and to have had the Wembley series so nicely reviewed in its pages last year. Now, I’ve been able to combine the two things: writing for the magazine myself, and documentaries I’ve made being written about in its pages. Because in the latest issue out today I have a piece about my Flight into Danger documentary on BBC Sounds. This is nice for two reasons. Firstly, of course, it’s nice just to write for the Radio Times again; to once more be a tiny part of a publication with such a long and esteemed history. But it also feels as if it somehow connects what I’ve done to Flight into Danger’s UK…
