He subsequently produced and presented a half-hour show on that station called ''So You Want to Run a Radio Station?''. This was nominated for a [[Sony Award]]. The transmission of humorous mistakes, previously considered private material only for the ears of industry insiders, came to the attention of [[BBC Radio 2]]. They commissioned a series of six fifteen-minute programmes called ''Can I Take That Again?'',<ref name="Donovan 123">{{Cite book |title=The Radio Companion |last=Donovan |first=Paul |publisher=[[HarperCollins]] |year=1991 |isbn=0-246-13648-0 |location=London |pages=123}}</ref><ref name="Penk">{{Cite web |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/proginfo/search?medium=radio&yearweek=201847 |title=Steve Penk's Radio Nightmares  |date=2018 |website=Media Centre |publisher = [[BBC]]|access-date=26 August 2019}}</ref> produced by Jonathan James Moore (then Head of BBC Light Entertainment, Radio). The success of this series led to a further five series on Radio 2 (the programme ran from 1985 to 1990),<ref name="Donovan 43">{{Cite book |title=The Radio Companion |last=Donovan |first=Paul |publisher=[[HarperCollins]] |year=1991 |isbn=0-246-13648-0 |location=London |pages=43}}</ref> as well as a small number of programmes (called ''Bloopers'') on [[BBC Radio 4]].

Some of the earliest clips in Hewat's collection went back to [[Rudy Vallee]] "[[corpsing]]" (giggling uncontrollably) during a recording of "There Is a Tavern in the Town" and one of the very earliest OBs (Outside Broadcasts) of ''The Illumination of the Fleet''.{{citation needed|date=November 2020}}

The comment made by newsreaders after making a mistake "I'm sorry I'll read that again" was the origin of the title of [[I'm Sorry, I'll Read That Again|the radio show]] which ran on the BBC during the 1960s and 1970s.
