Brian Cox stars as McLevy with Siobhan Redmond as Jean Brash and Michael Perceval-Maxwell as Mulholland in this BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation. Inspired by the real-life memoirs of a Victorian Inspector in Scotland, James McLevy prowls the dark streets of 1860s Edinburgh bringing criminals to justice, with the assistance of Constable Mulholland. In 'A Bolt from the Blue', the young gentlemen of the university's student clubs are competing to play the most audacious pranks on unsuspecting citizens. Just harmless youthful high spirits - until a body is found floating in Leith docks. Written by David Ashton. Directed by Patrick Rayner.
