First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on November 7th 2021

Internet artist and archive television fan ANDREW-MARK THOMPSON returns to guide us through the paper archives of the late actor IAN FAIRBAIRN (1931 - 2014) which he was given by the actor himself after they met when Andrew was working on the TIMESLIP website back in the day. IAN's surviving scripts and other documents give a fascinating insight into the television working life of a jobbing actor from playing bit parts for directors who would employ their "regulars" like DOUGLAS CAMFIELD and JOHN COOPER, to acting as a stand-in in rehearsals, to being the lead villain in a children's TV serial. Across a long career, IAN also made appearances in EMERGENCY WARD TEN, SERGEANT CORK, DOCTOR WHO, THE LOTUS EATERS, and VAN DER VALK.
