Saturday-Night Theatre: The Pugilists

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Yorkshire local-boy-made-good Arnie Wrightson has a scheme to 'help' a young miner dismissed from his work after a scuffle on the picket line.
Arnie's plan combines all the qualities he reveres - enterprise, self-help, fear, pain, lust and greed.
