To starve oneself emotionally is a mistake. If you speak of emotion to the English, they are shocked. They're afraid of passion, but not of lust - as long as they can keep it secret.'
Galsworthy's short story, written in 1916 when he was living on Dartmoor. is based on a local legend. A young undergraduate. on holiday in Devon, becomes fascinated by a simple country girl. He plans to take her back with him to London, but a chance meeting with friends of his own kind forces him to think about the implications of what he is doing. Robert GEOFFREY BEEVERS

Clifford Rose as Poyntz Hugh Dickson as Sir Thomas More
Sheila Grant as Margaret William Tyndale , the 16th-century scholar and a leader of the English Reformation, devoted his life to the fervent belief that men should be able to read the scriptures in their native tongue. Working under immense hardship, in exile and in constant fear of his life, he translated the Bible into English. But the publication of his work made him many enemies and his adversaries were always only a step away....

This is not a programme reflecting the past glories of rugby in Wales. It uses the week's build-up to the ENGLAND v WALES International during Centenary Year to reflect on the ambience of Welsh Rugby.
For the first time there is a broadcast of an important pre-match pep-talk not to be missed by connoisseurs of the bleep syndrome; there is an interview with the most committed woman rugby supporter in Wales; GARETH EDWARDS describes the split seconds of his greatest tries. In short the programme is a potpourri reflecting the agony and ecstasy; the humour and the hardness; the one-eyed supporters and the fair-eyed experts - all of whom share a national religion.
