In this week's programme you are invited to join Bob Roberts and his friends at the Butt and Oyster Inn, Pin Mill, Suffolk. Songs and music will also be sung and played by Isla Cameron, Seamus Ennis, and Peter Kennedy

From Harwich follow the River Orwell up past Shotley Spit and Butterman's Bay, and on the south bank you come to the small hamlet of Pin Mill. Many of the songs sung at Pin Mill - so closely associated with the sea - are forebitters and shanties. Some of them you hear that morning.

Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

A play of the Atomic Age
Written for radio by Elleston Trevor
From the novel by Warwick Scott
Produced by Archie Campbell
The experimental explosion of a new and immensely powerful hydrogen bomb may destroy all life upon earth. That is the possibility admitted by an independent jury of world-renowned scientists. Should that risk with all its attendant implicafons, material and moral, be taken? If so who shall cast the final vote—the governments — the scientists — or the peoples of the world?
The fearful problem is seen through the eyes of a group of hard-bitten journalists living in a society which, if not contemporary, may not be so far distant. How it is met and how ordinary men and women face the threat of doom is told in Elleston Trevor's play.
