Davy Jones's Goldmine at 7.30
Tonight's play is by way of being a landmark in the history of the BBC's studios in Cardiff. By now the reputation of Wales in the field of televised drama stands high. The efforts of the Welsh studios in the past four years are now crowned with the national showing of a weekly play series. The six plays to be shown on Wednesday nights are about Davy Jones, the wily old railway signalman created by Breconshire playwright T.C. Thomas. Viewers who have seen the three plays about Davy that have already been televised will know that he is a likeable old rascal whose lonely signal-box is the centre for all kinds of nefarious goings-on. In Davy Jones's Goldmine he buys a patch of land to rear chickens, but finds that with a royal train coming past his signal-box he can turn his land ownership to good account. The rest of the series will tell of Davy Jones's Catch, Love Bird, Brush, Dance, and Wallop. As usual, Davy is played by Jack Walters.
Peter Dimmock introduces Sportsview, Television's weekly sports magazine for the family.
Tonight's programme includes:
