by John Wyndham
Dramatised by Owen Holder
With Keith Barron, Tracy Reed, Noel Howlett, Bernard Brown and Carole Boyer

A physicist, blown up in a laboratory accident, finds himself in another plane of existence, parallel in time to our own. He finds a ready-made life as a novelist, and a new group of friends and business acquaintances. More important, he finds he is married to a beautiful girl who apparently hates him. How can he explain that he is not the man she thinks he is?

In the hundredth edition of Europa three men look back at some of the more recent major and minor events which have happened in their own country and elsewhere. They are television journalists from Holland, France, and the Soviet Union, and it is they who in their own countries regularly present news and comment to their viewers. But tonight they will be presenting their comments to a foreign audience - to us.
A Dutchman, a Frenchman, and a Russian will tell you what they think has been happening and what it has all meant.
