Other parts played by Virginia Winter , Hilda Barry and Sulwen Morgan
Young Jolyon continues the story of the Forsyte family, and tells of the loneliness of its head, Old Jolyon Forsyte, since his grand-daughter June, whom he has brought up, has become engaged to Philip Bosinney and gone off to Wales to visit her fiances aunts. So lonely is the old man, in fact, that he becomes re-united with his son, the teller of the story, after an estrangement of fourteen years.
The most important item under discussion in all Forsyte households, however, is the affair of Soames, the Man of Property, and his beautiful but icy wife Irene. Even Soames himself finds it hard to believe that Irene does not return his love, and he has planned a house in the country as a means of luring her away from undesirable influences. The house at Robin Hill is to be designed by Philip Bosinney , to whom Irene is much attracted.

A radio biography of the poet
W. H. Davies
Written and produced by P. H. Burton
W. H. Davies was born on April 20, 1871, in Newport, Monmouthshire, and he died on September 26, 1940. The programme concentrates on the story of the first half of his life-his boyhood in Newport, his wanderings in the U.S.A. and Canada, his fight for recognition as a poet. It is a tale full of adventure, comic and tragic; full of suffering, in mind and body; and full of courage, moral and physical. This poet lived a life that was itself a heroic poem.

Sarnia: An Island Sequence played by Eric Parkin (piano)
This work (its tide is the Roman name for Guernsey) consists of three pieces. 'Le Catioroc '—' All day long, heavy silence broods ... But at nightfall gleams the light of fires; the chorus of Aegipans resounds on every side: the shrilling of flutes and the clash of cymbals re-echo by the waste shores of the sea' (Pomponius Mela). 'In a May Morning '—' When spring flings its gold and silver into the vast open-meshed basket of the woodlands ' (Victor Hugo). 'Song of the Springtides '— ' Upon the flowery forefront of the year One wandering by the grey-green April sea ... Along the foam-flowered strand Breeze-brightened ' (Swinburne).
