About this listen

 Three elderly tailors - a trouser-maker, a coat-maker and a waistcoat-maker - have been commissioned to make a bespoke suit for an up-and-coming politician. They have worked together for decades but have only met very rarely, although increasingly, these days, at their colleagues' funerals. The suit has been designed by Mrs White, a mysterious woman whom they've never met. Mrs White has imposed very strict rules about secrecy, and all off-cuts have to be returned to her. The suiting fabric supplied is also unusual. It seems to change colour and quality with the mood of the tailors, and to move against the needle in a sentient manner. As the garment takes shape, it begins to have a powerful effect on anyone who comes into contact with it. Starring Allan Corduner, Malcolm Storry, Stephen Marzella, Catrin Stewart, Liza Sadovy, Claire Cage and Richard Nichols. A BBC/Cymru Wales production, written and directed by Anita Sullivan.

A wonderful story. The supernatural tied in with vey ordinary lives and preoccupations with rich ambiguity. It needs careful listening and perhaps too much hangs on vital sentences but generally well paced.

More modern rubbish. Feelingless No atmosphere. There is a film from 70’s about a man who asks a tailor to make a strange suit still shown on TMC & it is a great little story.
