Subject: BS: A Canticle for Leibowitz
Do you guys know what "torrent" is? Some kind of internet file? Relevant to the following:

A Canticle for Leibowitz, though it has yet to be filmed that I know of, has on more than one occasion been adapted as a drama for radio with actors playing individual roles.

There was a BBC Scotland Radio adaptation from 1991. The Scottish actors are quite a list: Alexander "Sandy" Morton, Michael MacKenzie, Alec Heggie, a young Robert Carlyle. The adaptation was written by one Donald Campbell. They didn't get all three sections of the "Canticle," only the first two: Fiat Homo and Fiat Lux.

I gather there are Audiobooks of this book as well.

The Scottish broadcast turns up online as a "torrent" download, if you search for it.

And somebody, I guess working from said download, put a few minutes of it on YouTube. My attempt to link to it, failed; but it is there if you search independently.
