London Schoolboys v.
Welsh Schoolboys
A commentary on part of the match by Michael Standing from Lord's
This is not the first time a team representing the London Schools' Cricket Association has met a representative team of Welsh schoolboys. A London team visited Neath in July, 1936, and beat the home team by 3 runs and 5 wickets. The match was described by no less a judge than Bill Hitch as ' a great afternoon ', so listeners may look forward to hearing some fine play in today's twenty-minute glimpse.

A discussion between
Rose Macaulay, John Betjeman ,
Sidney L. Bernstein , and John Grierson
Tonight's discussion should be fair as well as sparkling. We may expect some drastic criticism from Rose Macaulay, who can be very devastating about modern institutions, and John Betjeman , who used to write notably lively film notices before he began giving broadcast talks about architecture. The cinema should be worthily defended, however, by Sidney Bernstein , one of the most enterprising of exhibitors, and John Grierson , who put Britain on the map with documentary films. Among them they may solve the difficult question of finding out what is wrong with a form of entertainment to which people flock in their millions every week.

Eric Gillett
A taste for Jane Austen is like a taste for olives; either you have it or you haven't - and if you are in the unfortunate second category no amount of petulance or persuasion will shift you into the first. But if you are in the first, 'sealed of the tribe of Jane', you cannot have failed to wish for more of her. That is what the letters give: one more social circle peopled with the familiar types and seen through Jane's playful, ironic eyes; one more Jane Austen heroine, and one of the most delightful of them all - Jane herself.
To take only one example, no one but Jane could have written of that 'much admired' Mrs. Blount that 'she appeared exactly as she did in September, with the same broad face, diamond bandeau, white shoes, pink husband, and fat neck.'
