The Return of General Forefinger

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

A Comedy of Motive by GILES COOPER with Muriel Pavlow. Nigel Stock
Mary O'Farrell, Peter Howell
Augusta Forefinger , whose eccentricity is the springboard from which Giles Cooper plunges into this sparkling pool of crazy humour and the dark undertow of irony that swirls beneath it. is the aged widow of a distinguished 19th-century Empire-builder. She lives now in the observatory of the family's ancestral home in Co Limerick with a distant cousin, who humours her in her pursuit of a remarkable hobby.
Produced by MICHAEL BAKEWELL
