Obituary: John Fawcett Wilson, radio producer

For 50 years, John Fawcett Wilson, who has died of cancer aged 83, produced many of BBC Radio's most outstanding music, comedy and drama series. His vast output included King Street Junior, The Public Ear, Hinge and Bracket, Rolf's Walkabout, Albert and Me, and dramatisations of novels by John le Carré and Graham Greene. He became renowned for his creative and often innovative approach, and his work remains a staple of BBC Radio 7's comedy and drama output.
