Wedi'r Oedfa: anthology of words and music presented by Sam Jones

BBC Home Service Welsh

by Wilkie Collins
Dramatised as a serial in twelve parts by Howard Agg

(Repeated on Tuesday at 3.0)

On her arrival in London Marian Halcombe went to the lodgings in Holborn where Walter Hartright was staying, and there she told him of Laura's death at Count Fosco's house. They determined to bring to justice Sir Percival and the Count, whom they believed responsible for the crime.

First, through the help of Mrs. Clements, they sought out Anne Catherick and traced her to an asylum on the outskirts of London; but when Marian saw her she found, to her amazement, it was her own sister. Secretly she bribed the attendant to contrive Laura's escape, and safe within the lodgings at Holborn Laura told the story of her supposed death.

Members of the BBC Drama Repertory Company

by Edgar Wind, Professor of the History of Art In the University of Oxford and Fellow of Trinity College
For more than a century now, Professor Wind claims, Western art has been produced and enjoyed on the assumption that it should pull the spectator away from his ordinary preoccupations. This, Professor Wind thinks, reduces the spectator to an observer who watches without participation; and he suggests what can be done to render our participation more vital.
