by Henry Fielding.
Adapted for radio in six parts by Hallam Tennyson.
With Anton Lesser as Tom Jones, Kathryn Hurlbult as Sophia Western, Peter Jeffrey as Squire Western, Jill Balcon as Lady Bellaston, Hannah Gordon as Mrs Fitzpatrick, Annette Crosbie as Mrs Waters, and Martin Jarvis as Henry Fielding.
In which Sophia is mistaken for a Jacobite; a Gypsy King metes out his kind of justice; Tom Jones disarms a robber; Lady Bellaston arranges a 'conversation' with Tom; and Tom and Sophia are thwarted in a passionate embrace.
(Martin Jarvis is in "Caught in the Act" at the Garrick Theatre, London)
