Afternoon Theatre: Gaffer

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

by David Stewart
With Edward Chapman, David Spenser, Carol Marsh, Angela Thorne
By 1851 the Boulton family had risen high, from farmworkers to iron-masters. Now it was the turn of young James Boulton to become 'gaffer' and to lift the family name higher still by marrying into the aristocracy. Who could object? Who should have doubts?
