Love In The Bus Lane
How would you describe Aberdeen to a Polish person living in Edinburgh?
"It's a bit like Dundee, only further away."
So says Billy the Dundonian bus driver who is one of the two lead characters in Love In The Bus Lane. It's a new comedy-drama written by D. C. Jackson and is part of our week-long Adventures on the M8.
It's a romance set on the bus-route between Glasgow and Edinburgh but a lot of the action takes place at Harthill Services, that well-known romantic hot-spot. Fans of 'eighties Scottish bands will enjoy the musical soundtrack from the likes of Orange Juice, Aztec Camera and The Blue Nile.
It's a great play. I've just been listening to a preview copy on CD and it had me laughing out loud on the train journey from Inverness. The dialogue is stuffed with witty one-liners and I urge you not to miss it. It will air at 1130 on Friday 24th April and will then be available on the BBC iPlayer.
Don't say I haven't warned you.

Hmmm I am worried about what hold ups this is going to cause, Harthill services is pretty busy at the best of times without a play going on there.
