A second chance to hear Sybil Thorndike reading some of the letters she wrote to her family during her first tour of America
Narrated by Russell Thorndike compiled from his book Sybil Thorndike
Produced by Graham Gauld
When Canon and Mrs. Thorndike's young daughter Sybil was asked to join Ben Greet 's coast-to-coast tour of America in 1904 there was much deliberation and argument about her going. This was her first offer of a job on leaving drama school and she was determined to take the opportunity, so she swept away all reasons against it and sailed for the United States, promising to write often. Which she did: reams and reams! Tonight Dame Sybil reads some of these letters she wrote on that year-long journey. They are taken from the biography written by her actor-writer brother Russell Thorndike, who introduces this programme of his sister's view of America on her first visit there more than sixty years ago.
(Revised and extended version of the broadcast on July 3, 1968)
There may have been a decline in the size of congregations in churches in Britain and over the world, but the standards of the playing and singing of church music have generally never been higher.
Through interview and musical example LEIGH CRUTCHLEY shows how much this healthy condition is due to the Royal School of Church Music.
Produced by Maurice Brown and Daniel Snowman

talks to CHRISTOPHER BURSTALL about his life as a writer
It is a commonplace that non-writers (and other writers too) are curious about the way in which writers approach their work. At its simplest cocktail-party level, this curiosity extends only to asking if ' you write it all out in longhand with a pen '; but in this programme, reworked for radio from the material which gave rise to the BBC-tv programme The Hunted Man, Graham Greene talks about his work at a much more serious level: about the ideas that move him, the events that have influenced him, the way he processes his material, the effects he is trying to produce-and, of course, about whether or not he writes it in longhand.
