A serial version of a new novel by J. B. Priestley
Fifth instalment, read by Kevin Fitzgerald
' I will have to give trouble at once', the Professor announced gravely, ' I must have hot water, plenty of hot water, for I am now going to shave off my beard.' And with this great change in the Professor's life came changes in others', too, in the service of Mr. Hassock's ' show '.
Timmy Tiverton , the comedian who has been out of work for so long, has the prospect of going on the (rather smaller) boards again. But the opening doesn't come off this time because (in short) ' Dunberry's a very English little town, and there's some commercial trouble-snobs and licences'.
