Restless Natives with Martin Compston & Gordon Smart

Oxford, Writing for Martin & Responsibility with Nicole Taylor

This week we have a belter of a guest. A woman who went left Glasgow to head to Oxford university, a BAFTA winning writer who's written for The C Word, Three Girls, the brand new One Day on Netflix and most importantly for Martin Compston himself on The Nest. It's a lady who in her words "always has Fanny in mind", the brilliant Nicole Taylor. Nicole, Gordon and Martin discuss confidence, heading to Oxford, writing with Martin in mind, Glasgow as an inspiration, her love of country music, the responsibility attached to writing real life story dramas and her new show.

Restless Natives is a cult Scottish film from 1985 featuring two scallywags – The Clown &amp; The Wolfman. It’s iconic. Two resourceful rascals who take on the ambitious task of holding-up tourist buses in the Highlands… They were Robin Hood, only Scottish and on the back of a motorbike.

Gordon Smart &amp; Martin Compston are sampling that spirit - inspired by The Clown &amp; The Wolfman - and distilling it into a podcast. They are setting themselves lofty ambitions before setting off in pursuit of tasks and goals they have absolutely no right achieving. A bit like their careers in TV, movies, newspapers and radio…

Join them as they recount some of their ridiculous scrapes and adventures from the past while they plan even more ambitious, unreachable schemes for the future. Some of them will be achieved and others will crash and burn spectacularly. They’ve got lots to talk about, lots to share with you and nothing but time.

As the film once said: “Is this the end of the story or a beginning of a legend?”
