His love of sport and getting his hands dirty has resulted in BBC Scotland commissioning an extreme sports series called The Adventure Show in which Dougie presents and takes part in a variety of outdoor sports and competitions.

During the last ten years, Dougie has worked across many broadcast genres including four years reporting for BBC’s Holiday, Summer Holiday and Holiday’s Out programmes.

Dougie started his broadcast career at Scottish Television presenting NB, their award-winning arts listings programme.

The Arts theme continued with Dougie presenting coverage of the Edinburgh Festival for Scotland Today plus Centenary Reels, a celebration of 100 years of cinema for STV.

Even though much of his time is taken up with Sports programmes these days, Dougie still finds time to branch out into other areas. He has recently finished a second series of Take It From The Top, a features series for Radio Scotland.

In a past life, Dougie was founder member and drummer with the band Deacon Blue with whom he recorded and toured for eight years. He still plays with the band when commitments allow. His expertise in music has helped when presenting The Score for Channel 4, Och Around The Clock, a history of Jock n Roll and T in the Park for BBC Scotland plus The Blues and Soul Show, a weekly celebration of black music on Radio Scotland.
