The Producer asked me top develop two of the characters before it could be commsisioned for production. I flew home to Aberdeen, developed the characters, but meantime I had what is commonly known as a religious/spiritual transformative experience, so I abandoned my writing career in favour of studying at the University of Aberdeen, as a mature student, for a degree in Philosophy & Divinity.
