Story: Mary's Rest by PAT ADAMS
with the BBC NORTHERN IRELAND
ORCHESTRA conducted by JIRI STAREK and THE KING'S SINGERS
by RUDYARD KIPLING adapted for radio by A. R. RAWLINSON
Famine is still the scourge of India, as it has been since time immemorial. As a ' cub ' reporter in the days of the Raj, Rudyard Kipling personally experienced Famine Relief work, and in this play he has used his experience to provide the vividly contrasting background to the love-story of Scott and his ' William.' It is a very English love-story, true to its period in the 1890s when Victorian ethics and convention ruled supreme.

Against the Stream A report on South Africa by Ian McIntyre
Ten years have passed since the old Afrikaner dream of a republic was realised - decade marked by high economic growth and by the determination with which the Nationalist Government, despite intense hostility, has pressed ahead with its policy of separate development.
How successful has the ' irreversible experiment of Bantu self-government been? At what cost has it been pursued? And what weight attaches to those questioning voices which in the last few years have been raised within the ruling party?
