2 — ' The Escape from the Rock '
Produced by James Crampsey in the BBC's Scottish studios
It is the year 1813, during the Peninsular War. The young Vicomte Anne de Keroual de St. Yves, known to his comrades in the French Army as Camp-divers, is the St. Ives of the story.
He has been taken prisoner-of-war and is lodged in Edinburgh Castle, where he falls in love with Flora Gilchrist, who comes to the Castle on visiting days with gifts for the prisoners. On hearing the news that his great-uncle is near to death and anxious to see him with a view to making him his heir, St. Ives, resolves to make a bid for freedom, fortune, and love. He and his fellow-prisoners plan an escape by night from the perilous Castle Rock.

2-A Fellowship of Free Nations
In his second lecture Sir Oliver Franks examines the part Britain should play in the new Commonwealth. It is very important, he says, that we see the Commonwealth and our position and relationships within it as they are, and do not allow memories and habit to blur our perception. The independence of the members of the Commonwealth is no merely negative freedom. How can Britain sustain her leadership as one of a group of equal sovereign nations?
