A series of stories by well-known authors
2: Cyril Fletcher reads from WILLIAM SANSOM 'S story Old Man Alone abridged by JOANNA SCOTT-MONCRIEFF
' There's the skylight, you can get out through,' came a woman's voice. ' The chimney's right next door.'
The old man's eye could see their feet, the landlady's bedroom slippers alive with swansdown in the draught, and a workman's big boots. His heart sang! At last, at long last -luck! And on a Saturday afternoon! Producer
