This week we are chatting with former Vic College head boy, Callum Stuart Main Gillies. Callum is currently based at the University College London as a Proton Therapy Physicist - helping to treat cancer patients within the state-of-the-art facility. With having fairly well known parents on the island, it will come as no surpirse that when not helping to treat many serious conditions, in his spare time Callum can often be found performing with his swing band Down for the Count and even managed to help secure his Dad a slot at Ronnie Scott's in London. The big question though...why does Callum own a skimpy pair of purple Primark hot pants?
