Stabat Mater sung by the London Chamber Singers
Conductor, Anthony Bernard with George Malcolm (organ)
Written by Colin Wills
Produced by Christopher Sykes
The artist's relations to his raw material arc often misunderstood, and the model is rarely pleased with the picture- even if it turns out to be a masterpiece. Colin Wills gives impressions of reactions in West Africa to Graham Greene's novel of Colonial life, The Heart of the Matter.

A consideration of George Gissing by Walter Allen with Charles E. Stidwill as George Gissing
Production by Douglas Cleverdon
' Poor Gissing , said Henry James , ' struck me ... as quite particularly marked out for what is called in his and my profession an unhappy ending.' Out of his tragic life Gissing produced a number of novels that present, from the point of view of an intellectual who could find for himself no niche in society, a unique picture of the last decades of the nineteenth century in England. In this programme the man and his fiction are discussed by a novelist of today.
