Notes on Episode 4

Unknown character in white
Through out 1993 rework there is this man in white. Having looked through the various story lines from subsequent series, I can only suppose, this was a character that would have been introduced in a later book, as he does not appear in the other Lone Stranger story lines that I wrote while at the Robert Gordon’s Institute of Technology.

Back Story
As I had been trying to expand the original 1988 script to the size required for a novel, I created the back story of what the main protagonist did from the time the building was attacked to the present, during the 1993 rework of the script. Needless to say because of the nature of the story, a number of oddities occur in this bit, which become clear later.

Bon Accord Shopping Centre
This was being built at the bottom end of George Street in Aberdeen when I was still a student there, and I believe I left before it was finished. In the early days of its build there were protests, and dire predictions as to what it would do to other parts of the city. I am not sure they ever came true, but for dramatic licence I used that idea.
