If a previous play is anything to go by, then this should be good !
Dont miss it .
I'll be there by the wireless..... Good luck.
Just in case anybody listens to radio plays instead of surfing the net, this poster, an ex-Wicker, has one going out on BBC Radio 4 this Saturday (2nd December) at 2.30pm. It's called "Killing The Butterfly" and is a thriller set on the sleeper between London Euston and Edinburgh Waverley. There's a Listen Again feature on the web for 7 days after it is broadcast.. http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/arts/saturday_play.shtml

The Old Man of Wick was a very old man

Please don't kill the Dealan. It is the only Gaelic word I know and I love it.
Butterfly = dealan = picture of God.
Thank you for posting the website. I don't get to be considered an expat Wicker because I lived there for only 3 months, but I do appreciate being able to find BBC programs on the internet.
I was there by the wireless as intended and thoroughly enjoyed a nail-biting tale as it unfolded from the depths of an underground car park in Edinburgh,
complete with gun shots, murder, a car chase, a train journey with a difference - and the rest, there was never a dull moment to top up my glass.
What a well written story - my thanks to Colin MacDonald and the cast - what cast? Surely it was all true ?
Trinkie.
Thanks Trinkie. I'm glad you enjoyed it. And thanks for posting your enjoyment too.

I had a listen too, but got interrupted. It was intriguing, though, and I'm looking forward to hearing the whole play later.
