Thank you Chesterton Here's a short synopsis "Based on the light comedy by James Bridie from a play by Bruno Frank A widow has been fined for non-payment of her dog licence, and her dog, Patsy, has been confiscated. This starts a storm of trouble in the little Scottish town of Baikie. " Cheers from Canada North

[@clivejones1152]

Bruno Frank ? So Frank Bruno was an assumed name ?

A great story .. Thankyou

[@carolwoodhouse4311]

An excellent, clever, thought provoking and inspiring play. Thank you,

[@sandysands5066]

There is a 1937 Movie, starring Rex Harrison, Vivian Leigh and Cecil Parker.

[@mrbazzabee4013]

That's a new style of yours Uncle Chesterton....having a play where you have to guess what the ending is....you old smarty-pants .....how innovative of you.

[@Patricia-if5cv]

Such fun! Thank you.

[@mwatts-riley2688]

Thank you, Miranda's mother.... 😉

[@YogZab]

Completely entertaining!

[@leedawson5615]

🇨🇦Most enjoyable - thanks for posting. Wishing you a happy New Year🙏

[@randomlight1069]

Pity the ending cuts off abruptly.

[@factsoverfiction7826]

Stop! This cuts off abruptly before the end. Don't give up on this play, though. Search YT: Storm in a Teacup BBC. Yes, there's another posted by Chesterton with a B&W movie still. It seems shorter at 1:25:09 but the ending is fully included.

[@stewartmcardle8149]

According to Genome, this Gordon Gildard adaptation / production is from 1939 ! Features Halbert Tatlock playing Willie Thomson, the Lord Provost...and a really enjoyable little romp in the style of Whiskey Galore....

[@michaelmoricz8422]

The ending is missing. Any possibility of your providing it? Or was this the way it was broadcast? :) I think I can see where it was heading, but it would be nice to actually hear the end of it.

[@ellie698]

I can't understand the actress who's playing Mrs Flanagan

[@jordankennedy8421]

So cute 🥰.

[@jeffdixon5853]

This was good but it was cut short.

[@gmailbox9084]

I don't know when this was first broadcast, but it is still very relevant to Scottish politics.

[@angelsone-five7912]

I was enjoying this a lot but then it just stopped, pity.

[@randomlight1069]

🐺 woof woof 😂

[@anniemz4211]

Sounds just like Jamie from outlander

[@leslieortenzi8875]

Why does this cut off mid-sentence? I'm waiting for the happy ending!
