I had never read his poems so imagine the treat i have just had.I have met and listened to Aly and Billy way back when folk clubs reigned in pubs throughout the land so i can be thankful for that. A gem of a film.

Norman MacCaig is my favourite poet. I adore his metaphors, humour and astonishing lucidity. Thanks for this programme. I also studied in Edinburgh and love the city. So this programme has an extra resonance for me.

Superb but I've said to others that they should read Andrew Greig's book first.

"Summer Farm" has always been my favourite poem by Norman MacCaig - you've spelt his name wrong - so to hear it read by one of my favourite poets, Douglas Dunn, was a real treat.
