In a recording from the BBC Sound Archives, the poet Dylan Thomas recalls his early days spent during the Great War in Swansea.
"An ugly, lonely town, or so it was and is to me, crawling, sprawling by a long and curving shore where truant boys beach-combed, idled and paddled..."

7: The Mighty Merdle
There was a sympathetic understanding established between Little Dorrit and the young Mrs Gowan and they had a new assurance of congeniality in the aversion which each perceived that the other felt towards Blandois of Paris; an aversion amounting to repugnance and horror of a natural antipathy towards an odious creature of the reptile kind. To both of them, Blandois behaved in exactly the same manner: it was as if he had said, ' I have a secret power in this quarter. I know what I know.'

by Allan Prior
with John Bott as Inspector Savage and Henry Knowles as Sergeant Eaves

When Inspector Savage and Sergeant Eaves are attached to a case involving an attack on a young girl, there's more to be revealed than the guilty person. There's the attitude of Savage and Eaves to their work, and of the public to crime in general. As the two policemen track down the assailant, is there more than the girl at risk?

Helen Keller
' I seldom think of my limitations, and they never make me sad.... I believe that all through these dark and silent years God has been using my life for a purpose I do not know. But one day I shall. understand, and then I will be satisfied.'
Helen Keller , one of the most remarkable women of her time, was born 100 years ago this month. Blind and deaf from the age of two she became a world-famous figure and a tireless worker for those with similar handicaps.
