' Though England purchases nothing better than beer and France nothing better than Burgundy, it is difficult to imagine two beverages which agree worse together. Had we taken the train we should probably have fallen asleep and been waked ignominiously and in a flustered condition by the ticket- collector.'
Sir Ralph Richardson reads a further extract from GEORGE SAINTSBURYS Notes on a Cellar Book, first published in 1920.

with special music composed by ROBERT PETTIGREW

Oh the sheriff was a paunchy man and he put on his gun.
It was almost bust and bits of rust were glinting in the sun.
He said to Death Mahoney - that was the stranger's name -
'Be out of town by sun-down or I must take my aim.'
Narrated by John Shedden
Directed by STEWART CONN
BBC Scotland
(First broadcast on Radio Scotland)
A delicious piece of light satirical tomfoolery ... full of catchy tunes and catchy verses.
(GLASGOW HERALD)
