At the mid-point of this series of 15 weekly programmes, Christopher Hogwood pauses in his historical and geographical account of trio-sonata form to introduce a programme of sonatas from several countries featuring wind instruments. A newly-reconstructed sonata for two recorders by Handel, a work formerly attributed to Handel, and sonatas by William Cor bett, Telemann and Vivaldi are played by members of the ACADEMY OF ANCIENT music.

Music composed and conducted by ANTONY HOPKINS
This is the sixth from a selection of ten notable plays specially written for radio and broadcast over the last 25 years.
A dock brief is a strange and summary method of defending a prisoner. The prisoner, who has no other legal help, is allowed to choose any barrister who is sitting in Court to appear for him. He takes his pick from the dock: prisoner and barrister meet in the cells for a hurried consultation. a half-cooked defence is hastily brought to the boil, and the trial begins.
