1—' The Jade Tablet'
Produced by David Davis
A few years have passed since those earlier adventures of Richard Hannay 's such as ' The Thirty-Nine Steps ' and ' Greenmantle.' You must think of him now as a Member of Parliament, and as the father of a boy of fourteen. His son's name is Peter John , and this is just as much his son's adventure as his own.
It began with a chance meeting that set his mind working on unusual lines, and so prepared him for what was ahead. At the time, it seemed like anything but the beginning of a new adventure, but, looking back, it became clear that the starting point really was that October evening when he caught his train home from Victoria.....

* Permit me to make my bow again. Mr. Hob! You have heard how I persuaded three men to search for the lost sonnet..... Soon after their failure at Old Galliards, Elizabeth Courtney returned home.

Talk by Martin Hotine
It stands to reason that anyone coming back to this Earth wants to pass unnoticed. In London they mingle with the crowds and go home every night to a nice respectable cemetery in the suburbs. Here in Africa what more natural than that they should appear as snakes?'
