While it was omitted from the documentary, my brush with the demon Shax wasn’t my only encounter on the way home from Edinburgh...
It would have been difficult to recreate it here without the aid of a member of the Scottish police but, thanks to the generosity and hard work of a group of wonderful artists, you can see how events unfolded in this ‘animatical’ cinematography.
Please enjoy it, and do take time to go back and admire all the drawings, as some appear only briefly, and all are worth your attention.
The splendidly skilled artists in question:

For the curious, the music on the radio is Waltz II, from Shostakovich’s ‘Suite for Variety Orchestra No. 1’. It might be relatively modern, compared to my usual listening fare, but it is most certainly not ‘bebop’.
