Three plays by Andrew Rissik
with Ronald Pickup as Philip Tremayne
Benedict Taylor as Anthony
Tessa Peake-Jones as Laura
and Patrick Troughton as Philip's father

Philip's friends consider him a success. He has written novels, produced television programmes - made a name for himself. But he is dogged by a sense of failure and by the recollection of a friendship that started at prep school in the 1930s, when he first met Anthony. A friendship that was to go tragically wrong.

Adapted by Charles Allen from his recent book
A series of three programmes

When Charlotte Canning sailed for India in 1855 as the wife of the newly appointed Governor-General, she and Queen Victoria began an exchange of letters which not only provide a picture of India before, during, and after the terrible mutiny, but which also reveal the private characters of two of the most remarkable women of the 19th century.

'Great cockroaches, as big as mice, are very common. They run along the floor and now and then spread their wings and fly upon me! Small red ants are in such quantities that we are obliged to put the legs of the dressing tables into little saucers of water.'

A series of four programmes 1: A Little Learning
Money (rather like sex in Victorian times) is not a subject for polite conversation. Though it determines our choice of friends, partners, jobs and homes, there's a time and place for money talk.
Laurie Taylor seeks to break this traditional silence with those who breach the taboo - from the morning seminar where workers seek enlightenment, to the classroom where children are persuaded to pocket the stuff, to the event where even aristocrats deign to utter the vulgar word.
