Some Famous People called Roger Scott
Roger Scott
Roger Scott (23 October 1943 – 31 October 1989) was a British radio disc jockey. He was best known for presenting an afternoon radio show on London's Capital London from 1973 until 1988 and was also best known for presenting his late night Sunday show, Scott on Sunday on BBC Radio 1 until his death from cancer.
Born in London in 1943, Roger Scott developed an early love of the rock and roll music being created at the end of the 1950s and early 1960s. As a teenager, he began playing records out the window of his suburban London home and watching the reaction of passers-by to the music.

Roger Scott (born 1944) is an Australian social documentary photographer and photographic printer.
In December 2001 Scott published a retrospective of his work, Roger Scott: From the Street, with a foreword by Gael Newton, senior curator of photography at the Australian National Gallery. In addition to 139 of Scott's photos, the book included an essay by Robert McFarlane, a fellow Australian photographer and photographic critic. In his essay, McFarlane suggested that Scott's photographs "are unique within Australian photography. The intimacies he records in the lives of his subjects show that, far from being another purist disciple of Cartier-Bresson's worthy maxim of the decisive moment, Roger Scott introduces a new kind of instant in Australian documentary photography - the irrevocable moment."
Scott's work was included in Candid Camera: Australian Photography 1950s–1970s at the Art Gallery of South Australia (2010).
