Public Account
Appearance
Public Account was a weekly politics themed radio program started in 1976 and transmitted by BBC only in Scotland. It ran on weeknights from 10:45 to 11:25 PM, local time.[1] It was designed to reflect the increased interest in politics in Scotland leading up to the first Devolution Referendum held by the Callaghan government. Ground-breaking in its approach to politics, it was presented by Donald MacCormick, James Cox, and Andrew Neil. Tom Ross was the producer and Matthew Spicer was the editor.
Margaret Thatcher appeared on the program on January 9, 1978.[2]
