' Frederick Augustus Hervey
(1730-1803), Fourth Earl of Bristol and Bishop of Derry '
Shane Leslie
(From Northern Ireland)
Frederick Augustus Hervey , Earl of Bristol, whose sumptuous travels are said to have been the origin of the numerous Hotels Bristol all over the Continent, was as queer a bishop as ever presided over a see. He filled his palace at Downhill with so many curates that a whole wing was set aside for them and christened ' The Curates' Corridor '. One of the curates had a toast which he regularly drank, to the great joy of the Bishop : ' A Rot amongst Rectors! '.
One evening after dinner, the Bishop-who was no bigot-obliged the Presbyterian and Church of Ireland clergy to ride races on some sands near the Palace. The next day he preached a sermon on the evils of horse-racing, illustrating his argument with references to the previous day's sport.

by Hans Andersen
Adapted for broadcasting by Marianne Helweg
Cast
Music chosen and arranged by Maurice Brown
Production by Val Gielgud
' The Little Mermaid' will be broadcast again tomorrow in the Regional programme at 8.0
Andersen's story ' The Little Mermaid ' is just a hundred years old this year, for it appeared (with ' The Emperor's New Clothes') in 1837. It is one of the earliest of Andersen's tales, and one of the saddest. For the story combines two favourite fairy-tale themes: the granting of a wish that turns out to have fatal consequences (the theme on which W. W. Jacobs 's ' The Monkey's Paw ' is such a brilliant variation), and the tragedy of an immortal renouncing immortality for love of a mortal.
The heroic little mermaid is really too charming, too gentle a little creature for the harsh fate her creator has given her. But there was a strain of harshness and bitterness in Andersen and it shows itself here in the torturing of a figure that he obviously loved.
