The Amadeus Quartet In April this year,
Peter Schidlof , Norbert Brainin ,
Siegmund Nissel and Martin Lovett were joined by the cellist Robert Cohen to record
Schubert's String Quintet. Tragically, it was to be the quartet's last recording as Peter Schidlof died in August. After the sessions the five musicians talked to Christopher Cook about Schubert, their playing, and themselves. Stereo

A selection of works by one of Britain's greatest living writers The Potting Shed adapted by PEGGY WELLS
With the exception of two, the Callifers are gathered for the funeral of the family head.
Then, unexpectedly, one of the missing two turns up, and the defence they have all maintained during the old man's lifetime begins to crumble as the long-guarded secret of what happened in the potting shed is threatened.
Directed by GERRY JONES. Stereo (Re-broadcast next Saturday)
