Isy Suttie's Love Letters

Series 2

The Crank

Duration: 30 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 FMLatest broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 Extra

Available for 4 months

Isy Suttie recounts the tale of the Crank, a Matlock oddball who Isy's mother roped into helping Isy study the Welsh language. Along the way, Isy picks up a bit of morse code.

Another love story, told partly through song.

Sometimes Isy has merely observed the lives of others; quite often she's intervened, changing the action dramatically - for better or worse.

Intertwined within these stories are related real life anecdotes from her own, often disastrous, love life.

With her award-winning multi-character and vocal skills, and accompanied by her guitar, Isy creates a hilarious and deeply moving world, sharing with us her lessons in life and love.

Producer: Lyndsay Fenner
