The story of life and work in the remotest Isles
Devised and produced by John Gough
The Shetland Islands have had the doubtful honour of being somewhat uncomfortably in the news since the war started. Here, however, is a programme that reflects the life and spirit of Great Britain's most northerly islands, and takes no account of Nazi air raids and rabbit casualties.
John Gough recently spent a week in the Shetlands, talking to the islanders and shaping his programme about them. By a coincidence, the same post that brought Gough in- formation of the programme's broadcast date brought also a letter from an old friend, Finlay Currie , whom many will remember for his performance in The. Edge of the World. As a result, Currie will be heard in tonight's programme.
