Dr Johnson Out of Town

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

Written and presented by John Wain
Samuel Johnson loved travel, and his idea of bliss was to be bowling along in a carriage with a pretty woman. This programme deals not only with the journey to the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, but with some of his lesser-known trips.
Producer ROBERT CRADOCK followed by an interlude
