Town and country must be married - that was the dream of Ebenezer Howard when the first garden city was born at the turn of the century, and that vision was carried on by the post-war planners. Forty years on from the New Towns Act, how does the future look for these dream developments, now that the inner city takes over the focus of the Government's attention?

Presenter Jenni Murray Story: Dobson's Choice by MARIE CROSSMAN
Read by Brenda Blethyn
Mr Stamford, Mr Dobson and Miss Gregson all work in the same office. Mr Stamford is quite dismissively certain of Miss Gregson's evenings - cooking her mother's supper and watching television. It is Mr Dobson who discovers dramatically just how different Miss Gregson's evenings are! Editor CLARE SELERIE GREY
by Noel Coward
The comparative happiness that exists between Hugo Latymer, a grand old man of letters, and his wife Hilde, is disturbed by the surprise emergence from his past of an ex-mistress. The purpose of her visit turns out to be as shocking as it is dramatic and threatens to destroy their marriage.
In this, one of Coward's last plays, in which he made his farewell stage appearance in 1966, the Master's famous wit and observation of character are as sharp and entertaining as ever.
