"Whilst fly-fishing recently, I watched a bumble bee alight on the slow-moving water; almost at once it was sucked under by a large trout. Would the bee sting the inside of the trout and if so, would it hurt?" Let's hope today's team will rise to this question.

Timothy West as Yegor BulichOT in Yegor Bulichov and Others by MAXIM GORKY translated by GIBSON COWAN adapted for radio by ANTHONY JACOBS
In 1929, shortly before he died, Gorky planned a dramatic trilogy telling the story of the early years of the Russian Revolution as he remembered them in a provincial community. He wrote only two of these and the first was Yegor Buli chov. The play is set in 1917. Tsar Nicholas is still on the throne, Russia is at war with the Central Powers and the Revolution has not yet begun.

The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists by ROBERT TRESSELL abridged for radio in 20 parts by f. C. BALL
Read by Gordon Gostelow (1)
Robert Tressell 's famous, classic story is set in the town of ' Mugsborough ' on the South Coast and centres on the lives of a group of workmen in the building trade. It is a faithful account of their day-to-day lives, illustrating the problems of poverty and unemployment, told with sincerity, compassion and humour.
