A Letter from a Magpie
The Magpie is one of the animals we love to hate. One of them writes a letter in their own defence. Stars Timothy West.
Animals we love to hate write a letter in their own defence: The Magpie.
When insults and accusations of being a thief, a devil, a villain and a scoundrel come flying at you from all directions, there's only one thing a slightly ruffled Magpie can do; stand up proud and defiant and state your case!
It is not true that the crimes of which the Magpie is accused, are the habits which most resemble those of man?
Is the Magpie villain or victim?
Timothy West stands up proud and defiant against the insults and accusations.
Written by Miles Kington.
Producer: Sarah Blunt
First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in July 1995.
