Certainties and Doubts
'Anyone who wants to understand me must know Norway - those winters and those mists. Oh how they long for the sun ...'
Scandinavia, March 1898. Celebrations for the 70th birthday of the greatest writer Norway had ever known: banquets, performances, speeches and some very awkward moments -for the old man was a stickler when it came to etiquette. This programme tells the story of Ibsen's life, through those events, his plays and the words of critics and admirers.
Including excerpts from Brand, A Doll's House, The Wild Duck, The Master Builder, John Gabriel Borkman and When We Dead Awaken - with certain characters played by their 'real-life' selves, when there are hints at autobiography....

The Plays
Ibsen at 70

With JOHN FRANKLYN-BOBBINS JOHN NORMINGTON and JOHN RINGHAM 'in discussion' and MICHAEL SMEE as Narrator

In the second of this series of six programmes, Ludovic Kennedy talks to one of Britain's most effective crime-busters about a life with crime from a detective's point of view. Leonard ' Nipper' Read headed the powerful regional crime squads and was the man who brought the Kray brothers to justice. A colourful character who became a master of disguise, 'Nipper' gives us some insight into the criminals he knew and the way he caught them, as well as expressing his hopes and fears for Britain's police force.
