The Pomegranate Trees by WILLIAM SAKOYAN
Read by Barry Warren
While rural Wales wrestles with the problems of depopulation and the flight of the young, others have been steadily moving in - the weekenders, the peace-seekers. the painters and potters, the opt-outs and the drop-outs. Some see this creeping immigration as a threat to their way of life. Others regard it as a welcome stimulus to shrinking communities.
As Wales prepares for a referendum on devolution, Roger Cook and Moyra Bremner take sides on the conflicting claims of newcomers and natives, and ask whether Wales can or should be kept for the Welsh. Rcearch

When the red light goes on in the studio of local radio Cosmos, it looks as if the producer has just another routine phone-in programme on his hands. But nothing could be further from the truth. It's an evening that's to change quite a few lives... and at least one of them with tragic results.

'Gwen Ffrangcon Davies and I were engaged at rather a large salary in those days - I was only 19 - we were engaged to do the Balcony Scene for two or three weeks - and the top billing at the Coliseum! We had a terrible set, sort of pink balcony - Gwen looked as if she was in a pink bath when she came out. It went very badly, and one of the stagehands said to me in the last week, "You're doing it a bit better now". We were preceded by a turn called Teddy Brown - he was about 20 stone - huge man who played a xylophone, and he was such a success that when the revolve began to go round the audience was still screaming for him, and our garden scene was heaving into view.... they didn't know what to make of us at all, and the Huston Sisters used to follow us and give a sort of imitation. They had Scotch accents and they used to say "thousand times good-night" and get a huge laugh right on top of our balcony scene - it was the only time I've ever appeared in a music-hall.'
