Child prodigy Bertie, controlled by his pretentious and intellectual mother Irene, is learning the saxophone he also speaks Italian, and is extremely knowledgeable about many subjects. Pretty young Pat, a new tenant, arrives to flat-share with Bruce, a surveyor with an eye for the ladies. In these three BBC Radio 4 series, Domenica MacDonald and Angus Lordie observe the lives of their neighbours in and around around 44 Scotland Street. Verging on the Bohemian, here the haute bourgeoisie rubs shoulders with students and the more colourful members of the intelligentsia. With its multiple-occupancy flats, Scotland Street is an interesting corner of Edinburgh's New Town. Alexander McCall Smith's delightful series of novels form the basis of these radio dramas featuring the inhabitants of an Edinburgh tenement building.
