Yes and of course this led to a strange case of fiction into fact when the commercial radio in Bristol which was established a few years later decided what better name than "Radio West" which the BBC had already widely advertised for them! At the time it was of course a fictional radio station!

Brought back some happymemories! Hi Polly and Listers, There are two novels about Shoestring by Paul Ableman. The first, published in 1979, is called Shoestring. The cover includes the words The Private Eye who became the Private Ear for Radio West. The second is Shoestring's Finest Hour, which was published in 1980.
