4 Extra Debut. Hard up art expert Duncan Kavanagh waits to see how the Arab Spring and democracy will change Egypt. Stars Nigel Lindsay.
As the world waits to see what democracy will bring to Egypt, Nigel Lindsay plays hard-up Coptic art expert who becomes embroiled in (what appears to be) corporate espionage when approached by seductive Canadian student Tara to deliver a letter - for money - to a prominent Egyptian politician. But nothing in this tense three-parter from writer/director John Dryden is quite what it appears to be.
