Alison Uttley, the author of the Little Grey Rabbit books, is 91. In this programme she talks about her country childhood in Derbyshire - the source of all her writings. She remembers seeing hares dance, her mother making cowslip wine and her frightening walk through woods to school. She looks forward to another Grey Rabbit book and is visited by some children who draw their own pictures of her characters. And she looks back on a country Christmas before the turn of the century.

On 30 October, 1938, Orson Welles and his Mercury Theatre company presented a radio version of H.G. Wells's War of the Worlds, so realistic that millions of Americans, tuning in after the broadcast had started, were convinced that Martians had landed.
This film is a dramatic reconstruction of the events of that Hallowe'en nearly 40 years ago.
