The Book Programme

on BBC Two England

Introduced by Robert Robinson
'Scully' - a 15-year-old Liverpool schoolboy on probation, and on the fiddle when he can - is the subject of a new novel by Liverpool schoolteacher Alan Bleasdale. In a filmed discussion Alan Bleasdale and a group of Liverpool teenagers talk about his hero 'Scully.'
There's a new biography of Samuel Palmer, the eccentric Victorian landscape-painter who was a friend and follower of William Blake. William Feaver tells his story and looks at his work.
"Apart from the Bible and Shakespeare..." Paul Tortelier reads from a favourite book.
