Tonight at 9.0

This series started about a year ago, but was suspended until the opening of the new West Regional transmitter. The series begins again tonight in a considerably revised form. It will trace in dramatic form, period by period, the growth of Drama in the West Country and in Wales from its beginnings until the latter part of the nineteenth century. Mr. Kyrle-Fletcher has chosen a novel form in which to present these dramatic landmarks of the West, with a view to keeping an even balance between entertainment and information.
