About This Program ✦
Woolly in the Wind is a programme that is presented in the format of a single episode. It is listed simply as a programme of the episode genre, with no further classification provided. The title itself suggests a focus on a particular incident rather than an extended series, and the material is confined to the events described in the brief narrative. The story follows three men – Joe, Peter and Mike – as they set off to climb a mountain without taking any coats. At first the day is bright and sunny, giving the impression that conditions will remain favourable. However, the weather changes abruptly, turning the pleasant day into a harsh one very quickly. In the midst of this sudden shift, Mike suffers an injury, which becomes the central consequence of their ill‑advised ascent. The incident highlights how a seemingly innocuous decision – neglecting to wear proper outerwear – can lead to an unexpected turn of events. The rapid deterioration of the weather underscores the precariousness of the situation, while Mike’s injury serves as a tangible reminder of the risks involved. No further characters or sub‑plots are introduced; the focus remains tightly on the trio’s climb, the swift change in conditions, and the resulting mishap.
