Trapped: A Boy in a Well

on BBC Radio 4 FM

Black comedy set in the offices of Pennine News Network, a local television rolling news service that is on its uppers. They need a big story that could go national and keep them all employed. They call it a "boy in a well" - a story that has drama and can run and run. Then nine-year-old Eric Pickery falls down a well. But will he be trapped long enough for the news team to keep their jobs?
Written by Mark and Daniel Maier.
