Big Al Whittle, I think this is the programme your sister might be referring to: Silver by Jonathan Smith On BBC Radio 4 Extra 01.00 Sunday 2nd February "When WE Henley, the one-legged Gloucestershire poet and eccentric, visited Edinburgh for an operation in 1874, he struck up an immediate and robust friendship with the more effete novelist RL Stevenson. It was a friendship that was to survive many storms - including Stevenson's thinly disguised portrait of Henley as Long John Silver in ‘Treasure Island’. Starring Bill Paterson and John Franklyn-Robbin. Written by Jonathan Smith. Robert Louis Stevenson .... Bill Paterson W E Henley .... John Franklyn-Robbins Fanny .... Maureen O'Brien Katherine .... Joanne Mackie Joseph Lister .... Bill Wallis Leslie Stephen .... Peter Copley Sister .... Eva Stuart Nurse .... Marcia King Lloyd .... John Bolton Director: Shaun McLoughlin First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in May 1989."
