Neil Forsyth, writer and creator of hit BBC Scotland comedy drama, Guilt, admits that almost as much time was spent debating the soundtrack as the script in the drama that has been acclaimed after a twisty second series featuring eclectic selections from German experimental rockers Can to The Clash.
