No Nothing

Synopsis:
Two iconic Glasgow figures  poet Edwin Morgan and trade union leader Jimmy Reid  died within days of each other in 2010. They are astonished to wake up in a strange afterlife-anteroom where they engage in a flying about life, the Universe and everything  from Glasgow to Infinity and beyond (with meditations on post-referendum Scotland).
