Wheel of Fortune

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

by JANE COLES
In the 1950s British immigrants flooded into Australia, among them Madeline and her parents. But neither life nor growing up was easy in the land of sweltering heat and lethal creepy-crawlies.
'I want to be cold.... to see rain on the windows, to hear proper birds sing. When will I ever taste a sweet little English tomato again?'
Directed by MATTHEW WALTERS Stereo (R)
