on BBC Two England

with Robert Robinson Tea with Miss Pym
Earlier this year, many distinguished writers and critics were asked to name a writer whose work they consider under-rated. The books of Barbara Pym were nominated by PHILIP LARKIN - ' She has a unique eye and ear for the small poignancies and comedies of everyday life,' - and by LORD DAVID CECIL -' The finest examples of high comedy to have appeared in England during the past 75 years.'
In this programme, Miss Pym talks about her writing, her life and her new book Quartet in Autumn, and entertains Lord David Cecil to tea in her cottage in Oxfordshire.
