Afternoon Play: The Good Samaritan

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

- By Stephen Wakelam. A shy young clergyman arrives at a Cambridge college to find his life invaded by an eccentric and loveable character; a brilliant historian who has ceased to write, a great preacher who no longer preaches. By turns comic, warmhearted and moving, the play charts the development of an unusual and enduringfriendship.
