Any fans of Lindsey Davis' 'Falco' books may like to know that BBC Radio 4 are broadcasting Part 1 of a new 4 part adaptation of 'The Silver Pigs' at 11:30am (UK time) on Friday 5th March. It should be available through the internet for those outside Britain. <p></p><i></i>

I hope they put that on DVD! Did they say who's doing the readings? <p>Legio XX<br>

<br>

The producer is Peter Leslie Wild, the dramatisation by Mary Cutler.<br>

A CD of the series is likely to be issued in due course, though no details are available as yet. It should be good - apparently Lindsey Davis is impressed. <p></p><i></i>

Further details for those not in the UK (or working on that day and not near a radio, in my case):<br>
<br>
The BBC have a Listen Again option whereby people can access the programme at any time up to 7 days after transmission via the website (though it can't be downloaded) at www.bbc.co.uk/radio4.<br>
