A series of six new programmes on the educational problems of young people in schools and colleges
4: Examinations
The traditional sixth form existed to prepare its pupils for examinations that led directly to university entrance. Does the traditional A-Level G.C.E. syllabus provide- the sort of education we really want for our new sixth formers, whether they are aiming at university entrance or not? Produced by Peter Jarvis

by Richard Brinsley Sheridan with the Epilogue by GEORGE COLMAN
Music by contemporaries of Sheridan selected and arranged by LIONEL SALTER with Dorothy Tutin
Alan Badel , Max Adrian
Maurice Denham and Barbara Couper
London: 1777
BBC MIDLAND LIGHT ORCHESTRA Leader, James Hutcheon
Conductor, GILBERT VINTER
Produced by CHARLES LEFEAUX , who writes:
' No edition of the play was authorised by Sheridan and many of the early versions were corrupt or pirated, while later ones included actors' gags and many producers' and editors' emendations. The very full text used for tonight's broadcast may seem unfamiliar in some of its detail, but it is a careful collation of two manuscripts corrected by the author himself, and it is probably very close to what was performed on the first night under Sheridan's own direction.
'We do not know what was played during the entr'actes in 1777, but Lionel Salter has selected and arranged music by contemporaries of Sheridan which is very stylishly played tonight by the BBC Midland Light Orchestra, and the cast is both ' starry ' and highly accomplished.' Third broadcast
