Tom Brown 's Schooldays by Thomas Hughes adapted as a reading in five parts by ANGELA JESSON
Read by MICHAEL TUDOR BARNES
1: Early Days. Tom finds a plac among the Browns of Berkshire and leaves home for the first time
Tom Brown 's Schooldays has been dramatised before, and filmed, and televised-but each new generation must gain pleasure from comparing their own schooldays with the strict and unyielding but strangely liberal discipline of Dr. Arnold at Rugby School. Tom Brown , unconventionally brought up in his father's squirearchy in Berkshire, is sent to Rugby. There he meets with the friendly, likeable East, the bully Flashman, and the simple, vulnerable Arthur: and as we listen to Tom's progress through the school we watch in parallel the progress of our own maturity.

Direct from the Pavilion: a visit to tonight's concert
Introduced by BRIAN HOEY
Produced by James Williams
Fifty years ago, on July 16, 1918, the last Tsar of Russia was murdered. Tonight's programme examines the character of the dead man.
We see the sad, patient little man; the autocrat who believed in Divine Right and who refused all reform; the husband ruined by an adored and adoring wife with her crazy friends, including Rasputin; the worried father of an heir incurably sick; and the prisoner of the Reds who picked his teeth with a fork to mock his guards by a display of 'democratic' table manners. With Hugh Burden as the Tsar and Betty Hardy as the Tsarina.
