by ANTHONY TROLLOPE adapted for radio in thirteen episodes by H. Oldfield Box EPISODB 6
Lady Arabella, wife of the squire of Greshamsbury (that sadly encumbered estate), has taken advantage of her son Frank's visit to Courcy Castle, to tell Doctor Thorne that Mary's visits to the Manor House must end. And Doctor Thorne, angered by Lady Arabella's imputations that his niece is trying to trap Frank into marrying her, has told Lady Arabella that he will share Mary's exile.
At Courcy, Frank has met Miss
Dunstable, the heiress, whom his mother and aunt hope he will woo and win. But Frank, though he finds Miss Dunstable a very pleasant woman, has no such intention.

How do world-class athletes react to triumph and disaster?
Roger Bannister , Herb Elliott Angela Mortimer
Stirling Moss , Frank Tyson discussed this with Christopher Brasher in a programme on April 8
It was the hearing of this recording when it was first broadcast, and the views expressed by his fellow sportsmen that caused Herb Elliott suddenly to announce his retirement from international athletics, and it is in view of the interest aroused by this decision that the programme is being repeated tonight.
