' Question Time on Tower Hill '-5

on National Programme Daventry

View in Radio Times

By the Rev. D. 0. SOPER, Ph.D.
Every Wednesday for seven-and-a-half years, winter and summer, in wind or rain, Dr. Soper has stood for an hour-and-a-half on the cobbled roof of a warehouse answering questions put to him by anyone who happens to be there.
The Tower, the plot of ground where people were once executed, and the church of All Hallows, to which the severed bodies were borne-here is a historic setting: Heavy lorries thunder past the warehouse, and in the lunch hour clerks and typists, dockhands and the unemployed come along, bringing their perplexities arising' out of modem life.
You need a big voice to make yourself heard above competitive meetings, and the roar of the traffic, but Dr. Soper's one boast is that he can make himself heard at Mark Lane Station.
Tonight he is to tell listeners some more of his experiences, and to give them some typical questions and answers that are exchanged on Tower Hill.
