by Jonathan Swift
Dramatised in four parts by Michael Bakewell
Starring Frank Finlay as Lemuel Gulliver, Spike Milligan as the Warden of the Academy, Nigel Stock as Munodi. Norman Rodway as the Chief Astronomer.

Alone on a deserted island, Gulliver sees a "vast opake body approaching". It is the flying island of Laputa, peopled by a ruling class of theorists which is gradually destroying the order of life in the lands below with their impractical, quite extraordinary ideas.

(Norman Rodway is a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company)
