Talk by Geoffrey Eley
Geoffrey Eley is making a number of journeys in the English countryside, partly on foot, partly by car, with the object of studying the history and the people, the wild life and the scenery, of some of our less frequently visited rural areas. Essex and Suffolk figured in the first of these English journeys - rather after the manner of William Cobbett's 'Rural Rides' up to date and in 'That Way Lies the Black Country’ he talks about Staffordshire and Shropshire.

1—' Dr. Evelyn at Windsor Castle'
A series of variations, old and new, on the pattern set by Walter Savage Landor , edited and produced by Rayner Heppenstall. This, the first, has been written for broadcasting by C. V. Wedgwood and is spoken by Carleton Hobbs as the Diarist, and Ralph Truman as Prince Rupert, with Graham Doody , Ernest Sefton , and Marjorie Westbury
John Evelyn records that on August 28. 1670. he visited Prince Rupert at Windsor, on the occasion of a service in St. George's Chapel, attended also by the King. They discussed mezzotint, a process invented by Rupert, scientific inventions, and, presumably. battles of long ago
