Tune in to Radio 4's Songbirds tonight at 9.30pm for the first episode of the comic fantasy story series Oil Drum Genii.
It's the beginning of a long weekend and Sam and Marco have no money and no idea what to do with themselves. Marco suggests they go fishing. The boys find an old stick, some string and a worm to use as bait and cycle out to the harbour front to fish. But when they get there they realise they do not have a hook.
Below is the first part of Oil Drum Genii for you to read before or while listening to the radio.
