Afternoon Play: Henry's Leg

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Ann Pilling 's award-winning children's novel is dramatised in two parts by Eric Pringle. 1: Eleven-year-old Henry Hooper lives alone with his mother in Lancashire. As an only child he is a solitary figure who converses with the voice of his imagination - "H". Apart from these secret conversations
Henry's real love isjunk, which he stores in his bedroom. When he brings home an innocent-looking leg from a fashion dummy, he finds himself in the middle of a real-life thriller. Some unsavoury locals are also very interested in this leg and seem prepared to stop at nothing to get it back!
Director Pauline Harris. Continued tomorrow 2.15pm (R)
