Letter from a Lady by BERKELY MATHER with Dandy Nichols and Sean Barrett
Ma Tante has spent a lifetime in India, as soldier's wife, as RSM's widow. She buys and sells second-hand clothes and is patronised and despised by the officers' wives.
Now comes young Jeremy Pentreath from Government House, offering for sale a tweed suit and leaving, in one of the pockets, a highly compromising letter from a lady.
Producer JOHN CARDY
(Repeated: Thursday, 3.0 pm)
