Afternoon Theatre: Looking Back

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

A play for radio by Victor Pemberton
with Arthur English

Autumn. Guy Fawkes Day. Armistice Day. For Arthur Hobbs it is a time for looking back over his life - as far back as the 1914-18 war. It is a time, too, for a reassessment of time present.
