Basket Case by Douglas Chirnside
Duncan Cairns, supremely organised Account Director for the chaotic, stuck-in-the-seventies advertising firm of Clancey & Bennett, is so contented with his matt black office equipment and his company BMW that he's never really thought of doing anything else. Until he gets a call from Karen Myhill, head of an independent TV production company. Karen wants Duncan's creativity, and Duncan's tempted. What he doesn't realise is that Karen's son is the product of a union with a man known only as Basket Case - for the wastepaper basket shoved over his head by Karen when interrupted in flagrante. In the close-knit world of the media, this could cause all sorts of problems...
Douglas Chirnside grew up in Scotland and read English at St Andrew's University. He worked in advertising on many different accounts before becoming an independent television producer. He lives in Chiswick and the Cotswolds.
