    Story:
    Atmospheric crime drama set in Shetland at midsummer - the time of white nights, when the sun never quite leaves the sky and birds sing at midnight. The launch of Bella Sinclair's art exhibition, at the Herring House Gallery in the remote hamlet of Biddista, is ruined by the appearance of a distressed stranger, claiming amnesia.
    Dramatised for radio by Iain Finlay MacLeod

    I've come late to the old radio drama sites partly because BBC radio has reduced its drama plays output so much. We've gone from 90 mins to 45 mins and sometimes 15 minutes. I'm hungry for good radio plays, ❤so finding these sites is like finding gold nuggets

      I agree. I love radio plays but as they’ve got shorter they’ve lost complexity and got thinner - they just can’t satisfy like the older radio drama which had the space to develop and build.

    Thanks Arch,
    Great to have these stories to listen to while I'm painting, down here on my Southern Hebrides island.
    No cliffs on my beach but I'm sure that there are skeletons in the local closets!

    I struggled a bit with the accents as my hearing is not what it once was. It was an interesting story, but I had to read the transcript to fully understand.

    No Cliche left unused . Characters flimsier than cardboard and dialogue
    cringeworthy . But.....apart from that . ?? At least it was more entertaining
    than Dancing on Ice. ( a fairly low bar I admit ! ).

    She asks are you alright ?
    As he slumps over a chair. Now you see my friends, he now, had a cleaver brutally chopped- in the left side of his throat. Ironically just below his Adam's apple of his neck. Mr. Rodney will no, longer breathe another breath.
    He was quietly attacked from behind with such violence. At 22 years of age his life really never started..
    When you're young, sometimes you don't think before you speak verbal mistakes sometimes will live on for decades, but sometimes it comes to bite you in the ass
    So, everyone,
    Take it as a warning to
    go to an art showing to this artist.
    Good night,
    I hope all of you sleep well with a cleaver to make you think you will sleep well.?

      Now to the owner of this channel
      " thinking out louder "
      By dubbing video and making it longer for the time period :
      HOW MANY TIMES ON THIS PLAY IS THAT.
      - - YOUNG KID
      - - YOUNG MAN
      ARE THEY,
      " IN THE PLAY, "
      GOING TO
      FIND HIM DEAD ?
