Family life, as he describes with great amusement, was far from conventional. In a varied career in the arts, he has worked in theatre, television and radio, most notably as commissioning editor for arts on 大象传媒 Radio 4 - but it was at the very start of his career, working in radio drama in Edinburgh, that he met his wife, the dynamic and much-loved director Marilyn Imrie, who died last year of motor neurone disease.
He talks movingly about writing his memoir 'Tell Me Good Things', which reflects on their happy relationship and how the family faced her devastating illness.
