History

NB debuted in 1989 and aired until it ended in 1997. Produced by Scottish Television, it was largely conceived by its producer Donny O'Rourke, and presented by a young, all-Scottish cast.[2][3] Daily Record television critic Paul English wrote that the show "helped shape the taste of Scotland's clubbers, gig-goers, opera lovers and theatre-buffs too".[4]
