5.20 More 'Cryes of olde London towne' sung by Walter Glynne

5.30 'Mystery at the Mine'
The first chapter of a radio serial by Gethyn Stoodley Thomas
Cast:
This exciting serial was broadcast in the Children's Hour in pre-war days. Its author was born in a South Wales mining valley, and it is to memories of childhood experiences that the story owes its inspiration. Radio Times readers may remember how, a year or two ago, Thomas, in an interview with his brother, recalled his childhood in these pages.
The author of Mystery at the Mine is now in the Navy, and served in the Prince of Wales during the Bismarck action.
