- Oxford
Written and narrated by John Wain
For John Wain , Oxford is not wholly made up of colleges, though as an undergraduate and later as Professor of Poetry, they have played an important part in his life. In this programme, he talks to dons, but also to a variety of people, including a man who has drunk in the same pub for 70 years and to whom the waterways of Oxford are as important as the college silver which it was his job to polish.
John Wain 's Oxford is a city cradled by water, invaded by the motorcar but most of all, a place which makes you do your own thinking.
