It seems strange though, why would she forget ‘The Lock’?

When her son Tony, a young trainee teacher is sent to prison for abusing a 14 year old pupil, Christine is forced to examine her true feelings for her only child. Set against the backdrop of her first visit post sentence, her confusion soon turns to anger as her son’s apparent denial and minimisation of his behaviour brings with it, a realisation that their relationship must change if it is to survive the sentence and beyond…

It is said that Pheidippides, an Athenian herald, was sent to Sparta to request help when the Persians landed at Marathon, running 150 miles in just two days. After this, he then ran another 25 miles from the battlefield near the town of Marathon to Athens to announce the Greek victory over Persia in the Battle of Marathon with the word “Νενικήκαμεν”, meaning ‘We have won’. He then collapsed and died on the spot due to exhaustion.

Many years later; in the town of Sheffield, we find ourselves focused on the adventures of a very unfit man trying to complete his first ever Marathon. He’s only just started and already he’s thinking about catching a bus…

The meaning of ‘Three’ is all about the union of two parts to create a unique whole. That point of union forms the fruit of knowledge; it is our access point to unlimited potential. Because if ‘One’ represents force, and ‘Two’ represents an opening, then ‘Three’ is the birthing of true wisdom through a forced opening.

So, let us ‘force your opening’ with the “Free by Three” special. Starting with “Falling”, a tale about the denial of gravity. Then later on you’ll hear us helping the public with “The Poetry Technical Support Line” and lastly, we’ll tell you about an object which everybody truly desires. We call it, “The Macguffin”

We’ll start with long slow phone-call before we move onto an empty restaurant, there’s a guinea pig… in a bowl of soup….yeah that’s right…soup!

Then we’ll wait, we’ll let you try to take in what you’ve just heard. Then boom! You’re in deep space, didn’t see that one coming; did you? We’ll knock you down on the ground with a quick one-two! Dog sedatives and Junking the Junk. You won’t know what hit you.

Finally, you’ll think it’s all over, after all why wouldn’t it be? But you’re wrong, ’cause you’ve forgotten about a little trip to the dentist, haven’t you?

Oh, you didn’t forget about it? Sorry our mistake.
