Classic Serial - Beau Geste, Episode 2/2
15:00–16:00 Sunday 11 October 2009
Dramatisation by Graeme Fife of PC Wren's classic story of honour, love and adventure.
The Geste brothers become the focus of suspicion and hostility from an assortment of international ne'er do wells thrown together as a platoon of the French Foreign Legion. A sudden attack on a remote desert fort by Toureg raiders brings matters to a head and provides the explanation for the disappearance of the Blue Water sapphire.
