The BBC television production of All's Welt That Ends Weil is on BBC2 tomorrow evening.
Sebastian Shaw , whose first Stratford engagement was in 1926, introduces the play with his own reminiscences of Shakespearean traditions and his views about this bitter-sweet comedy.
' Much of the plot of All's Well is frankly incredible, but the characters are so marvellously observed and their interweaving so intriguing that you will, I believe, willingly suspend your disbelief.'
Producer GORDON HUTCHINGS

A two-part programme
Winner of the ' best radio feature' in the 1980 Society of Authors/Pye Awards to Radio.
1: In May 1940 the first German offensive in the West succeeded beyond ali expectations. In a matter of days the bulk of the British expeditionary force was failing back on the Channel beaches of northern France. The epic of Dunkirk had begun.
We heard all kinds of voices. Scots and Scouse and southern, saying how they saw it and what it was like to be there in the battle, on the road, on the beach, on the boats and on arrival. It was when we nearly lost the war, though not everyone knew it at the time, and in this programme we were taken to the heart of it.
