Fr Michael Hollings is now a Catholic priest. During the War he served in the Cold-stream Guards and won the Military Cross. It was only later, in Palestine, that he felt the call to the ministry, since when he has worked amidst the tension of several mixed communities: in the heart of Soho, in Oxford, and amongst the immigrant population of Southall. This afternoon he talks about his life - including a reminiscence of Dame Ethel Smyth - and introduces his favourite music.

'Ivy Compton-Burnett said: I would write for a dozen people, but I would not write for no one". This is what I feel; it is those dozen people who spur me on, even when it seems I'm writing for myself alone.'
In the early 60s, Barbara Pym had her seventh novel rejected by her regular publisher. It wasn't till 1977, when Philip Larkin and Lord David Cecil wrote articles praising her work, that it came back into fashion, and last year her latest book Quartet in Autumn was short-listed for the Booker Prize. In this talk she analyses her approach to her craft.
