Last Orders

on BBC Radio 2

George Cole reads the last in an eight-part adaptation of Graham Swift's Booker Prize-winning novel. Jack Dodds 's dying wish was for his ashes to be scattered from Margate Pier in Kent. But he reckoned without the people who would be doing the scattering - or how many detours they would make en route.
The journey's end is reached, but the tide is in, there is a storm brewing, and the pier looks dangerous.
