The Marches Episode 2 of 2: Fearless Librarian Saves the Day
Written by Sebastian Baczkiewicz, this is the story of no ordinary librarian. Sitting behind the wheel of a clapped-out mobile library, Harry Hayman is the easy rider of Herefordshire's remote country lanes. Whether it's as a knight in shining armour, a getaway driver or an unlikely Casanova - Harry repeatedly finds himself having to save the day. But when his cherished job is jeopardised, can he pull out all the stops? A road trip that weaves together stories inspired by life in the Herefordshire countryside.

Fearless Librarian Saves The Day is one of two plays that form the community project The Marches. This unique collaboration brought the community of the Herefordshire village of Ewyas Harold right into the centre of the creative process behind this original Afternoon Play.
Adrian and Rachel Lambert directed the film that accompanies Fearless Librarian Saves The Day, inspired by the community of the village of Ewyas Harold. Taking the idea of the village hall fete, the film required 120ft of trestle tables and the creation of twenty carefully composed visual re-interpretations of the radio drama, complete with turf, gravel, a freshly caught salmon and mass community participation on the last day of filming!
