Thirty-Minute Theatre: The Dead Image

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

by John P. Rooney

It seems that Sam and Billy's striking resemblance to their grandfathers is purely superficial; Sam and Billy spend their unemployed time stealing lead, whereas their grandfathers died as loyal heroes on the Somme. But in Belfast history has a way of repeating itself, especially when you steal Catholic lead instead of 'good Protestant lead'.
