During June and July 2001, I helped some friends in the BBC’s radio science unit with ‘Go Digital’, a new technology programme that had been commissioned by the BBC World Service for their English language service, where it would sit with programmes on health and science as part of the broader non-news coverage. Working with Tracey Logan, the presenter, we made some pilot programmes that were not intended to be broadcast. Fine-tuning the balance of packages, presenter introductions and conversation with the ‘studio expert’ or ‘presenter’s friend’ who was supposed to turn up each week and offer commentary, background information and – where necessary – a translation of any obscure technical terminology from the interviews and reports that made up the bulk of the show.
