Doug Allan Part 1. Doug: My name is Doug Allan, and I was born on the 17th July 1951 in Dunfermline, in Scotland. [Part 1, 00.00.20] Chris: And what about your parents, what were they up to? Doug: My father was a photographer and a freelance cameraman for BBC Scotland and various other people, my mother was - initially looked after me and my brothers and sisters. I’m one of five, I’ve got one twin brother, one younger brother, two younger sisters, so mother was more or less a housewife for all of those but then she also went into business. She was also helping Dad withhis business and then they also set up a Hairdressing business latterly. But father had a very successful freelance photography journalist business until he unfortunately had a car accident in about 1972– 73. He broke his leg rather badly and he was a long time off work and it did leave him rather unable to be as active as he was beforehand. He became a producer with Fife Educational Television Service which back in those days, Fife was rather ahead of the game really: he would record with the BBC and [with] peoples permission he would record programmes off the television and then they had a system within Fife Schools for sending those programmes out so the schools could look at them anytime they wanted.

  • The Blue Planet
    original television soundtrack THE BLUE PLANET composed by GEORGE FENTON Introduction “Our planet is a Blue Planet. The Deep ocean is by far the largest habitat on Earth... 60 per cent is covered by ocean more than a mile deep...” Alastair Fothergill - Series Producer For as long as music has been written, the sea has been a major source of inspiration for composers; but not one of them had my luck in being given the amazing images of The Blue Planet. Three years ago when I was asked to write the music, I imagined footage which would be awesome, terrifying and magnificent. It is all of these things, but my lasting impression and for me the greatest achievement is that the remarkable films Alastair Fothergill, Martha Holmes and Andy Byatt have made, actually manage to make the oceans feel as natural a habitat as the land. They have achieved this by a spectacular mix of scientific knowledge and dramatic flair. They love what they do and it shows. The same is true of David Attenborough. His commentaries are distinguished in their understanding, love of the subject and (luckily for me) their musicality. I owe so much to Dave Lawson whose musicianship, critical ear and persistent good humour contributed more than a credit could ever reflect. To Geoff Alexander, for his beautiful orchestrations and to Bill, Nicole, Steve, Tom, Bill Ives and the Choir and Ian Maclay and the Orchestra who all entered in to the spirit of this amazing series of films; and now thanks to Jane Carter and all at BBC Music - The Blue Planet is an album too.
