Marius Goring in 'The Eagle of the Ninth' from the book by Rosemary Sutcliff adapted by Felix Felton
5—'In Enemy Country'
Production by David Davis
Disguised as a wandering Greek oculist (Demetrius of Alexandria) and his servant, Marcus and Esca came north of the Wall into the now abandoned province of Valentia, hoping to learn how the Ninth Legion had met its end, and, if it still existed, to recover its lost Eagle. After many months they met a hunter called Guern, who admitted to them that he had been a Roman Legionary of the Ninth, and from him they heard of the Legion's last days.

Five broadcasts on European painting by Eric Newton
3--Classicism
Our enjoyment of pictures is too often hampered by the jargon of the art critics. Semi-technical terms like ‘expressionism,' ‘cubism ’—even ‘realism' or ' romanticism '-are often used so imprecisely that they confuse where they should illuminate. To clear up this confusion is one of Mr. Newton's aims in this series: to give more precise meanings to such terms; to show by illustration and example how a clearer understanding of the ' -isms ' and their relationship to each other can contribute greatly to our pleasure in art.
Next Wednesday at 7.15: Romanticism An illustrated pamphlet price 2s. 6d. (containing fifty-three reproductions, six in colour) may be obtained through newsagents and booksellers, or post free from [address removed] (Crossed postal orders, please-not stamps.)
