A feature by FREDERICK BRADNUM based on a family history by CHRISTOPHER FRY

On a postcard from my mother to her sister Ada, 29 July 1906. A sense of identity through one's family is something we all need - a positive link with the past and a sense of continuity. Fry at 70 years old finds himself in tracing the story of his family - and his relations lived extraordinary and dramatic lives.
Narrated by Christopher Fry with and NICOLETTE MCKENZIE and MICHAEL GOLDIE
