Courier Culture

Produced by the National Theatre of Scotland and BBC Scotland.

A rookie fast food bike courier races the clock as he navigates the streets of post-Covid Glasgow. Pondering his new status as a Key Worker - and dreaming of something even bigger - he plots his way across a daunting new landscape, featuring abusive customers, oblivious pedestrians and a ‘creepy wee manager who lives in his pocket.’ Jatinder Singh Randhawa stars in this cutting new piece, written by Kevin P. Gilday and directed by Graham Eatough.

Available now on BBC iplayer as a standalone or as part of the Scenes for Survival highlights compilation.

‘Kevin P Gilday’s Courier Culture is a brilliant five-minute movie about an hour in the life of a fast-food delivery rider.’
★★★★★ The Scotsman

‘Gilday’s writing paired with Eatough’s direction turns a simple delivery into a high stakes chase across Glasgow. An insightful look at the unseen aspects of lockdown, one that challenges us to be kind and hopes for a better time to come.’
