Edmund Burke , a philosopher in Parliament
Written by Denis Johnston
Produced by James Mageean
Seldom has the House of Commons known so detached a thinker, so disinterested a politician, so logical an advocate of general princples as Edmund Burke (1727-1797). All his life he resisted arbitrary government, whether the British conquerors of India or the Crown itself were the object of his attack. He supported the struggle of the American colonists against the Mother Country and advocated reform and Catholic emancipation for his own native land. Yet he was a bitter enemy to what he regarded as the anarchic theories behind the French Revolution and predicted much that was to follow therefrom.
This radio biography reviews the life and viewpoint of this great Irishman, who contributed so much to the growth of the British Constitution.

A weekly gathering of famous folk
The regulars include:
The Master of Ceremonies
Richard Goolden as Old Ebenezer, the night watchman, who has a dramatic story to tell
The Court of Melody
Tunes are on trial and the ear is evidence and the guest of the week
Weekly meetings organised by Gladys and Clay Keyes , and presented by Eric Spear
Listeners will look forward again tonight to Old Ebenezer's story and will be guessing once more the identity of the well-known artist who plays the leading part in its dramatisation. And they will laugh once more at the ever-popular feature, ' Beat the Band '. What will be the questions tonight, and with what tunes will the band answer them ? And how many pennies in forfeit will be thrown into the drum towards the Spitfire Fund ?
