Tales from the South China Seas: 3: The Ulu: Upriver and Inland, to the Clearing in the Jungle

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Six programmes of themes and variations from the lives of the British in South East
Asia in the days of the Empire, in the words of some of those who were there.

'There certainly was a very great drama in the way we were living when I first went out there. These stations were tiny clearings in an endless, Interminable, tall, dense, wild Jungle... high, high old impenetrable Jungle... Its denseness cannot be over-emphasised...'
