Mrs Miniver's Daughter: JANET GRAHAM RANCE remembers her mother, the author, Jan Struther.
Mrs Miniver by JAN STRUTHER , abridged in six parts by PAT MCLOUGHLIN Read by Faith Brook (1)
Shortly before war broke out, an editor of The Times summoned Jan Struther to his office. ' The trouble with the articles on the Court Page,' he said gravely, 'is that they are all about woodpeckers.' He went on to suggest that she should write something about ' an ordinary sort of woman ... something like yourself.' Out of this Mrs Miniver was born, and became in time a famous Hollywood film.

The Dog Days by PAMELA A. LUNT
Read by Elizabeth Proud ' It had been one of her husband's chief complaints, that she paid more attention to Dan than to him, and Tessa had to admit that he was probably right. But then she'd always preferred the company of dogs to humans; they gave so much in return - trust, adoration faithfulness.' Producer
