THE SORROWS OF IRELAND

Network Three
on Network Three

by Honor Tracy with Alan Bennett and Patrick Magee
For many years Dick Fothereill , a producer, worked on Irish programmes, faithfully adhering to Policy. At last it proved too much for him and he fell a prey to Melancholia. Now, on medical advice, he has been given leave to express his own ideas; and we find him struggling to do so, ably hampered by Sean Sweeney , an absentee patriot who volunteers to criticise and correct.
Produced by Douglas CLEVERDON Second broadcast
