A serial version for broadcasting of Crosbie Garstin 's trilogy ' The Penhales ', read by Geoffrey Tandy
In this instalment John Penhale , sensitive and retiring owing to his appearance (a bomb had exploded, blowing away nearly half of his face), finds a wife at last. She is the Gypsy, Teresa, who is to dominate the early part of this serial, as she does her sons, the hero, and Eli.

A commentary on the Brooklands
Road Championship by F. J. Findon from Brooklands Motor Course,
Weybridge
Listeners are to hear a commentary on a new race, the Brooklands Road Championship, which will be the star road race in today's Bank Holiday programme. It is open to cars of any size; no handicap ; distance ten laps of the Campbell Circuit. The first meeting on this circuit was held on May 1, 1937, when the Campbell Trophy was won. F. J. Findon , who is to give the commentary, is Editor of The Light Car and gave his first motor racing commentary from Shelsley Walsh in 1932.

A commentary on the race by R. C. Lyle from Castle Irwell, Manchester
This important chase, which marks the end of the jumping season so far as big prize money is concerned, was first broadcast last year. R. C. Lyle is again to give the commentary. The distance is 3 1/2 miles. It was won last year by the Irish gelding Royal Danieli after he had run second in the Grand National three weeks before-a sterling performance by the gallant son of Roidore and Sweet Honora , who unhappily came down the first time round at Becher's when almost in the lead in the Grand National this year.
