Readings from favourite books chosen by Pamela Stephenson.

Comic actor, writer and psychologist Pamela Stephenson shares some favourite pieces of writing. The readers are Eleanor Bron, Dominic Jephcott and Michael Maloney.

Pamela Stephenson, whom many people will remember fondly from her time on Not the Nine O'Clock News, has a wide range of references to draw on for her selection of favourite pieces of writing. After much agonising she chose some classic travel pieces, reflecting her year sailing around the South Pacific; a wickedly sexy piece from Ovid, reminding us that she is a qualified psychologist; some remarkable poetry about the Australian landscape, and two classic pieces of comedy. Her readers are Eleanor Bron, Michael Maloney and Dominic Jephcott.

Producer Christine Hall.
