The Johnny Cash Hi-Jack Roadshow - BBC Radio Drama - cheops

Written by Michael Butt, produced by David Morley and directed by Dirk Maggs.

When a couple of Sheffield lorry drivers steal a petrol tanker and aim it south at the House of Commons, they start to question their lives and past events set them against each other.

As they speed south, pursued by the police, their increasingly desperate protest at fuel prices careers to a dangerous climax...

From the 'Radio Times'
Three self-styled Robin Hoods swipe a fully loaded petrol tanker, planning to take it from Sheffield to London as a protest against profiteering oil companies.

In this drama starring Philip Jackson and Ray Fearon, the unstable Paul is the driving force behind the stunt, bringing former lorry driver Vic and the impressionable young, Johnny Cash fan Dougie along for the ride. But, soon after hitting the motorway, the trio's moods darken as they begin to realise the implications of their actions.

The music of Johnny Cash - icon of the misfit and the felon - runs through the spine of the tale. We hear snippets of 'Man in Black' and 'I walk the Line', but it's tracks from the star's swan song covers album that take centre stage - 'Personal Jesus' and the harrowing ode to self-harm 'Hurt' providing a sense of foreboding. It's a dramatic ride, but you might wonder how they ever reached the M1 in such an unwieldy vehicle.
