Saturday-Night Theatre: Operation Lightning Pegasus

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

by Alick Rowe
What really happened at the Fall of Troy? Was the Episode of the Wooden Horse as heroic as Homer would have it? Or was his Iliad a cover-up for what was in fact a military fiasco?
"A superb comedy." "The best entertainment I've heard in my life." "A great contribution to Classical education." (Listeners' letters)
BBC Bristol
