Including "The Young Visiters", the classic written by a 9-year-old, Daisy Ashford, who died this year aged 90, with Alan Bennett and Vivian Pickles; William Trevor, well-known short-story writer, telling the tale (on film) of a journey, observed by cameras, to rediscover a character he once invented; Edgar Allan Poe's great spine-chiller "The Tell-tale Heart", read by Donald Pleasence.
