Yes indeed . `Shammydab` --had started about 5 years earlier on Radio Forth as a series entitled `Fair flummoxed` I thought up the idea and presented it on the radio for 2 or 3 years .In the early days ,the teams were in the main ,Scottish country dance bands(Jim Johnstone`s band versus say Bobby mcleod`s) Clark Tait (former head of progs at stv asked if I would try it on STV)

The Idea was picked up by one Martin Cairns of Grampian--I changed the name to `Shammydab`(a kind of cheap wall decoration where a wall was `stippled` using a wet sponge)-- when done well --it was said to be` the shammydab` or latterly just the `Dab` (similarly ,if someone was good at something ----they were described as being a `dab hand`)! Again ,I presented it on Grampian for a few years Early guests included Molly Weir , Russell Hunter,Trevor Mcdonald, Sandy Gall , and indeed anyone with a tenuous link to Scotland. The early theme tune was written by Dave and Barbara Murricane -- and rendered(like a wa` ) by Bill Torrance(sure Dave`ll still have a copy of it )

Cheap and cheerful! Unfortunately --it became more cheep and less cheerful !! Hope this helps a little--- -need anymore ---get in touch

Passport Quiz: Bryan Burnett?? But Passport itself was also presented by Bryan Burnett and another lady who's name escapes me. Anyone recall who she was?

Yes, black curly hair, but not Cathy MacDonald.

Found her on google. Katie Wood. www.katiewoodtravel.com
