Catriona said 'Because of the current conditions, we had to record everything remotely so I was in my Office in College rather than in the BBC studios in London. I did not get a chance to meet the other interviewees, but our IT team supplied a very impressive microphone for me, the conversation seemed to flow naturally and Simon Tillotson and the crew produced the programme with their usual expertise.'
