Poetry programme: 'The Jackdaw of Rheims' made into a play for broadcasting by Jean Sutcliffe
Every Wednesday at this time the usual Junior English course as scheduled for 1939-40 will be broadcast. There will be a few alterations, but the RADIO TIMES week by week will indicate what they are. In representing a little play in verse round ' The Jackdaw of Rheims', Jean Sutcliffe hopes to show that a story can be told as tellingly in that medium as in any other, and that the rhythm is an added attraction.

A serial version of a new novel by J. B. Priestley
The eighth instalment, read by Eric Gillett
This is Hope Ollerton's instalment. She sets herself the job of getting the ' show ' accepted in the Market Hall at Dunbury, and as a start goes to see the young lord of the manor, one of these people who have ' just missed nearly everything, a Blue at Oxford, a place in a CDunty cricket team, a rich marriage, a seat in Parliament'. She makes pretty fair headway here, but almost immediately gets involved in a parish meeting and falls foul of Sir Reginald's mother (who really runs the parish), and is turned out of the house. But as she is leaving she gets her warning in ' we're going to wake people up here. You wait'. -and in this instalment she has started doing so already.
