5.10-5.40 The Secret Garden: 6: A Tantrum in the Night
A serial in eight parts adapted for television by Alice de Grey from the book by Frances Hodgson Burnett.
Period, 1911

by Bernard Shaw.
The action takes place in a sunlit glade at the foot of a wooded hill in the year 31,920.
With one vast leap ahead in time Shaw brings his 'metabiological pentateuch' to its triumphant conclusion. There are no longer any short-lifers. When only four years old human beings are mature and death once again occurs only by accident. Lilith, whose patience was so sorely tried by the antics of her human children, sums up both past and future in her great final speech: "Of life only is there no end..."

Virtuoso of the harmonica.
