Pilgrim (Baczkiewicz)
Pilgrim is a radio play by Sebastian Baczkiewicz, produced by BBC Radio[1] and starring Paul Hilton[2] as William Palmer, known as Pilgrim. It is a fantasy tale of a hero cursed with immortality and forced to wander for eternity between the worlds of magic and mortals.
Episode 1
Every year, on the winter solstice, the small town of Melcombe observes an annual custom, the roots and meaning of which are lost in the mists of time. A torchlit procession to the ancient tomb of Cairndale Knapp, overlooking the town, puts the old sun to bed and greets the new sun in the morning, restoring balance to the year.
Episode 2
This year, however, Mr Sam Notice has bought the Knapp and has set about landscaping it. And with the felling of an ancient yew tree, the roots and meaning of the old custom spring malevolently to life, as the Winter Queen is finally released from her prison and bent on revenge.
