by J.B. Priestley, adapted for radio in nine parts by Antony Kearey
[Starring] Anna Cropper as Laura Casey and Jack Watson as Commodore Tribe

The Festival Centre in Farbridge High Street has been painted an exciting pink - a challenge to those who do not want a festival and a stimulus to those in favour. The Centre has been organised by Laura who, ever since Commodore Tribe announced that Theodore Jenks had left them, has torn into the job without any let-up.

John Donat in conversation with Mary Reyner Banham, Peter Reyner Banham, Sir Misha Black, Sir Hugh Casson, Michael Frayn, F.H.K. Henrich, Leonard Manasseh, Joseph Rykwert, Peter Shepheard

1951 was the year of the Festival of Britain. Was it really, as its Director Gerald Barry described it, 'tonic to the nation'?. What effect did it have on the public's mood: and what, if anything, did it contribute to architecture, urban and industrial design over the next 25 years?

(An exhibition entitled A Tonic to the Nation has just opened at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London)
(Rainbow Over the Thames: Tuesday 10.15 pm, BBC2)
