In 1969 I became the News Film Sound Recordist (ie right at the start of the "Troubles" but of course didn't know that at the time) I always threw a little sketch pad in the car and when there was a spare hour or so waiting for something to happen, often drew.

Not really associated with the BBC, but here are some of those sketches and the stories behind them. I suspect there is a link between the two drawings on this page

The Law Courts Belfast

Pen and ink sketch
