A Dance to the Music of Time: 4: A Buyer's Market (2)

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

A dramatisation in six parts by Frederick Bradnum of the first three books of Anthony Powell's sequence of 12 novels.

The extraordinary evening, beginning with dinner at the Walpole-Wilson's, going on to the Hunter Combe's dance, and ending with the amazing party at Milly's, has left Nicholas painfully aware that he has prodigally wasted his time.
