Obituary by PETER SILCOCK Brazil. 1976: It's a long way from Manchester for Richard McNeil when he arrives in Rio to take up a teaching post at the university. An English colleague disappears after inserting, for a prank. the fictitious obituary of the vice-chancellor in the newspaper. Richard's search for him leads him into some murky political waters. Perhaps his own obituary will be the result....

by JOHN ASHE Narrated by Kenneth Griffith
The 10th Bengal Lancers were known as Hodsons Horse. William Stephen Raikes Hodson (1821-1858) is remembered as the hero of the Indian Mutiny. which he did not survive: the very personification of the Victorian leader of men - a dashing, blondhaired lieutenant who died leading his men in the Siege of Lucknow,
Yet there was a dark side to this by no means conventional character: something even his contemporaries recognised as a whiff of sadism in the courage,... with and the voices of PATRICK BARR , PETER BALD-WIN , GRAHAM FAULKNER.
