Andrew MacDonald grew up in Scotland being visited by his mysterious and extravagant grandfather. He would tell enthralling stories of his life in Europe, surviving as an immigrant after escaping from the Nazi Regime. Then, by chance, a rented VHS tape revealed a massive secret. Andrew's grandfather was the famous writer Emeric Pressburger, 陆 of the Powell and Pressburger film-making duo who blazed a unique trail in British cinema during the 1940s and 50s. Inspired by Emeric, Andrew took his own steps into the movie industry, going on to produce cult classic films like Trainspotting, 28 Days Later and more, and to work alongside Oscar winner Danny Boyle.

Garry Fraser is a former heroin addict from Edinburgh who was picked by film director Danny Boyle to help direct his new movie, T2 Trainspotting. (This Interview was first broadcast on the 13th February 2017)
