“If we investigate only by physical and chemical means, we can only get physical and chemical answers.”

Sir Alister Hardy, FRS

Working title Blithe Spirit

Filmscript commissioned, based on an idea by Laurence Henson of IFA [Scotland].

The starting point was that the many millions of pounds worth of maturing whisky, routinely lying in remote highland glens, must eventually be the focus for some serious criminal planning. With "Whisky Galore" and "The Puffer" as inspiration, the drama was to be of a humorous nature, if possible involving foreign mis-management of an ancient Scots craft.

A 90-minute working script was completed but production backing was unforthcoming.
