With Jacques Maury of the Comedie Francaise as the young Voltaire, Timothy Bateson as Alexander Pope and Mary Hinton as Pope's mother

It is not always remembered that Voltaire, when he was a young man, came to England and stayed here for almost three years, from the spring of 1726 to the autumn of 1728. Banished to a distance of fifty leagues from Paris after a quarrel with an aristocrat called de Rohan, he decided to take refuge here, and it was in England that he formulated the ideas of tolerance and liberty of conscience for which he was to campaign until his death in 1779. Although he met many of the leading Englishmen of his day very little is known about his visit. Tonight's programme is a reconstruction of his meeting with Pope - the 'Mr. Popp' of his notebooks-based on their writings at the time, and in particular on Voltaire's Philosophic Letters, burned by the public hangman on his return to Paris.
