The Pargetter Triptych

Episode 3: Lo where it comes again

Nigel and Jennings revisit the Lower Loxley attics, where he recalls the two most important women in his life, before going out onto the fatal roof. Can he finally decide what happened up here?

Nine and a half years after the deadly fall from his roof, in three lockdown soliloquies, Graham Seed wonders whether the ghost of Nigel Pargetter may be unquiet in his Borsetshire rest. Nigel revisits the places he was familiar with in life, remembers the people he knew, and worries at the questions that keep him there - what really happened that night on the roof? Was the fall an accident? Or could it possibly have been something more sinister? 

Voiced by ‘Nigel’ himself, back from the grave; in the guise of actor Graham Seed.

Written by Helen Leadbeater, former writer of ‘The Archers,’ who knows ‘Nigel’ so well as she helped create his character alongside the then editor William Smethurst in the 1980s.
