on BBC Radio 4 FM

who gave us the greatest theatrical heritage in the world
In a series of four programmes Bryan Forbes tells the story of the British theatrical tradition from the time of David Garrick until the present day. Introducing the views and memories of many of our most distinguished players, he considers the particular talents of those actors who, through the ages, have given an added lustre to their legacy and dignified a profession which less than 100 years ago was not even considered respectable. 1 : So Steep the Climb Producer
