"Just a Little Fiddle" by Dennis Rookard


Ever since the long-gone golden age of railways - whenever that was - stations have needed porters. A special breed of men who, during those long periods between trains, can find endless tasks to perform along the platforms... yet can, with the appearance of a train and its passengers, vanish, only reappearing if the smell of a large tip is in the air.

Bert Pride is just such a man - but Bert, a long-time servant of the railway, knows that every job has its little fiddles, and is not above making them work to his advantage.

Cast list:

Bert Pride ... Peter Seaman
Jim Prentice ... John Lawrence
