the lost book episode 4

Aileen, Watson, Lyn and Kyle - planning

Grazp Pharmaceuticals' HQ

Wow! We've released the fourth episode of The Lost Book - and things are really getting exciting. As always, the story was written by visitors to www.thelostbook.net. To join in, all you have to do is visit the website and let us have your plot ideas.

This time, Aileen and co. travel to Christchurch, New Zealand, in pursuit of book assassin Otto Dafe. They discover that multinational corporation Grazp Pharmaceuticals is involved, and that Grazp boss Beryl Potts has a scarily evil laugh (thanks to the brilliant Cora Bissett's voice acting!).

We're working on the story for episode 5 at the moment...

On the buses

Late last year, Kevin Deighan of PurpleDogTV called with an unexpected proposition. He'd seen our "About Here" films. Would we like to screen them on buses...?

PurpleDogTV have screens in buses on a number of routes in Glasgow, so people across the city have been watching our quirky tales about St Mungo (the patron saint of Glasgow) and about the dancing capercaillie:

At the moment, we're also screening the latest episode of The Lost Book on PurpleDogTV's screens. It's perfect for the project as the characters do a lot of their travelling by bus! It's also an interesting way of exposing the project to a new audience.
