'Sealed Orders'
Adapted for radio by Vivian A. Daniels from the book by Garry Hogg
1— 'The Challenge'
Produced by Trevor Hill
The first sealed order contains the following clues. See if you can work them out:
A river, noted for its bore
Is fed by Sow, Tame, Dover and Soar.
Dick Turpin oft, on bold Black Bess. Sped Northwards o'er it, as I guess.
Just thirty miles from where you stand
A horseshoe, largest in the land,
Full eighteen feet from side to side, Adorns a smithy door he spied
Whene'er he used to pass that way
With cloak and sword and cocked-hat gay.
followed by ' Interlude of Songs ' by Mary Rowland with her Celtic harp
5.50 Children's Hour prayers conducted by the Rev. W. Warren Hunt
