Introduced by Robert Robinson Charles Kingsley at Eversley
Last week was the centenary of the death of CHARLES KINGSLEY -author of The Water Babies. Poet and priest, reformer and propagandist, he was long a thorn in the side of the Victorian establishment. He was rector at Eversley in Hampshire from 1844 to 1875 and it was there that he wrote most of his books. Susan Chitty , author of The Beast and the Monk, one of two new biographies of Kingsley, revisits Eversley to recall his life there. Also, ROBERT ROBINSON dips into a new collection of photographs and illustrations of ghostly phenomena - Ghosts: the Illustrated History.

Starring Wendy Hiller, Rex Harrison, Robert Morley, Robert Newton, Emlyn Williams, Sybil Thorndike, Deborah Kerr
Bernard Shaw and Gabriel Pascal's second film production was the ironic comedy of the rich girl who joins the Salvation Army to save souls, but is disillusioned when the Army is willing to take money from her wealthy armament-manufacturer father.
Made in 1940 under difficult war-time conditions, Major Barbara features a number of fine performances, particularly from Wendy Hiller in the name part, following up her great success in Pygmalion.
