Six programmes on British theatre with Bryan Forbes. 2: The Echo in a Cathedral It was from Sir Frank Benson that I first began to see why the plays of Shakespeare are considered masterpieces - dramatic cathedrals; how over and above and through the narration are implied meanings like the echo in a cathedral.'

by John and Julia Keay

The tragic story of the Scottish explorer Alexander Gordon Laing who, in 1825, left Tripoli to solve the mystery of the River Niger and become the first Christian in modern times to reach the legendary city of Timbuktu.
Narrated by Patrick Malahide
with David Bannerman as Laing

"My hygrometers are rendered useless from the evaporation of the ether. I am reduced to my last two thermometers, the others having snapped by the warping of the ivory. Two days ago my chronometer stopped and a camel having unfortunately placed his great gouty foot upon my rifle one night, snapped the stock in two."
