Nope, it seams like a rare case where script writer did
realy use technology without screwing it up.
Can Brent get the name of the play that he heard so we can figure out who
the author is? It sounds like they might even be a collector/historian ;)
The series was called "The Old Guy", I didn't catch the title of the
particular episode.
Some of the characters are Charlie (McMann?McCann), Malcolm and Joline.
Also, it was a replay, I recall hearing it first a couple (~ 1 to 3) years ago.
I tried searching the CBC web site for a reference or production credits & c.
but turned up nothing.
.. I thought the web site might be a good backup/reference for the broadcasts,
but apparently it's like the majority of (esp. corporate/commercial) web sites
out there: 95% fluff, useless graphics, filler & advertising, 5% content. Even
the "archives" seem to be a selection of material based on what
somebody-else-thinks-is-important.
