On 12 Mav 1940 the British Government interned 2,000 Germans and Austrians living in England. This was the start of a curious, occasionally comic, often painful and tragic experience for nearly 30,000 'friendly enemy aliens' who were eventually interned - some for a few weeks, others for the rest of the war. Eric Robson introduces some of their stories.

As a prologue to tonight's broadcast of "The Merry
Widow" this play tells the story of the first of the opera 75 years ago at the Theater Wien in Vienna when the librettist, the theratre manager and even the stage doorkeeper, were certain they had a failure on their hands. Only the composer and, surprisingly, an influential critic had faith in the piece.
