Mr. FRANCIS HACKETT : ' Why the English are Misunderstood Abroad'

on 5XX Daventry

View in Radio Times

THE travelling Englishman' is still a byword on the Continent, and the average view of the English character held by foreigners would-if they were ever impolite enough to express it—considerably astonish many of us. Mr. Francis Hackett , who will discuss this strange but persistent state of affairs, will be remembered by many listeners for the extremely vivid character-sketch of Mussolini that ho broadcast last year. As an Irish writer and journalist who has lived in America and travelled extensively in Europe, he is-particularly well qualified to give the Englishman an impartial statement as to what is thought of him abroad.
