Scarborough Morning by T. D. WEBSTER
By the winter of 1914 the War had already begun to alter received social opinion. For Emily, a young lady of somewhat radical outlook in any case, the climate in which she meets Robert is decisive. Unfortunately for them both an illicit trip to Scarborough brings them closer to the Front than they or anyone else would have believed possible.

If a vandal smashes a shop window and runs off, it is an illegal and inexcusable act, but if a dissident living under a harsh authoritarian regime smashes the window of a government office as a protest, the act, though still illegal, could be seen by some as both excusable and justifiable. Means and Ends sets out to answer such questions as: can the end ever justify the means? Is it always wrong to break tire law, or does the context of the act make all the difference? Is there an ultimate authority whose laws must be obeyed before those of an earthly state? Presenter Ted Harrison Producer DAVID coomes
