The Warden by ANTHONY TROLLOPE adapted by RAY JENKINS with Timothy Bateson Alan Bennett
Jenny Seagrove John Rye
Simon Hewitt and A pleasant house, 1800 a year, and nothing to do but care for the 12 old men who live in Hiram's Hospital - is that what the founder of the charity intended for the Warden? The tranquillity of Mr Harding's conscience is greatly disturbed by a campaign to restore the full amount of the benefactor's legacy to the elderly residents.
Trollope's first successful novel, the beginning of the famous Barchester sequence, has been adapted to celebrate this year's centenary of his death.

There's Something Out There
Aliens, triffids, mad robots, monsters from the Id. Science-fiction has long played on man's fear of the unknown in nature, technology, outer space, or even lurking in his own unconscious. What is ' out there' in the darkness? John Baxter boldly goes into the unknown in the company of Kingsley Amis, J. G. Ballard, Thomas M. Disch, John Fowles and an assortment of mutants, aliens and bug-eyed monsters from film, literature and broadcasting.
