The African Queen by c. s. FORESTER, abridged in five parts by NEVILLE TELLER Read by Alec McCowen (1)
An account of one of the strangest, perhaps the most pathetic, forlorn hopes of the First World War. The African Queen, an ancient steam launch, crewed by a spinster missionary and a Cockney mechanic, navigating the Ulanga River in an attempt to destroy the German naval supremacy in Central Africa. Producer ROGER PINE BBC Birmingham
