Come landlord fill the flowing bowl;
Here's a health unto His Majesty

Here's to the maiden
Man is for the woman made
Vive l'amour
A Jug of Punch
Here a health to the King

Nesta Pain introduces her programmes:
"When I went to visit the hospital which is the subject of this programme, the surgeon in charge said to me: If you can get an atmosphere of cheerfulness against a macabre background, then your programme will be right.
Men of the R.A.F. who come to this hospital for treatment in plastic surgery may have been blinded, or had their hands permanently injured, but usually their faces have been more or less badly burned. Plastic surgery can achieve almost miraculous results in repairing disfigurements which would otherwise be terrible and permanent. But it is a slow process and may mean a long series of operations. In the meantime, the men have to adjust themselves mentally to a new life. I think their cheerfulness is genuine enough. But, all the cant shirk the fact that the reality is inescapably grim, and nothing can really compensate these men for what they have lost. However. I don't think the subject is depressing, for there is much that is encouraging and constructive. The hospital aims not only at healing these men physically. but at helping them to find jobs and build a satisfactory life. And it seems to me that the fact that this work is undertaken. and that it succeeds.amounts to a triumph of the - human spirit over the belief that man is at the merry of his body and his physical environment."
Tonight at 9.45 p.m.
