by H.E. Bates
'She had married late; her sons were nine and 13. She saw them realising refined ambitions, making their way as assistants in shops, as clerks in offices, even as butlers. She had saved money for them. For 15 years she had hoarded the scrubbing and washing money, keeping it in a brown bag under the mattress in the back bedroom.'
In the fourth of seven readings related to the preceding Bookshelf programme, Joss Ackland reads this moving story of a country woman whose world collapses the afternoon her husband discovers her hidden savings.

In the summer of 1842 the whole of England's industrial economy was brought to a stop by an insurrection of the men and women who worked in it.
It was the one really striking example of a 'Marxist' uprising of the industrial workers, and in this documentary reconstruction Alan Ereira sets out to show that it was the inspiration for Marx and Engels to write the Communist Manifesto.

Narrated by Alan Ereira
With Nigel Anthony as Engels, Malcolm Gerard as Marx, Stephen Thorne as Pilling and Hugh Dickson as Reach
