The Monday Play: Animals in the Zoo

on BBC Radio 4 FM

by Gaie Houston
[Starring] Margaret Tyzack

'...in the lap of the downs an old farmhouse and there, waiting, are the old lags, young lags, thieves, and con-men who fill it nowadays... in the bus sit the official visitors, social workers, probation officers, magistrates and judges....'
TAFFY: I don't know if you're at all interested. I'm growing leeks. Course, I shan't be here to eat them - at least I hope not.
MRS AMBERLEY: But surely you must be very happy in such a wonderful place. I mean, even ordinary people would be glad of your chances.
TAFFY: Well, I'm quite an ordinary person myself, I'd say.
