Donal and Sally (1978)
When working on a trawler out of Peterhead, James Duthie saw a BBC production being filmed while on shore in Shields. It was here, talking to the producer on set, that he was inspired to pursue the long held aspiration he had of becoming a screen writer. Within the interview with Jim Taylor, James Duthie talks about how he feels he received his real education in the Picture House in Mid Street, a place he admits he would sneak in to through the toilet window. This early interest in film resulted in a life long dream of becoming a writer for the screen.
