Here is the proposed programme until early September.
We finish Life With the Lyons. I have a few more tapes of shows that are the soundtracks of an 8 part TV series. I've heard them and do not regard them as radio material, (too many pauses, alot of musical bridging, and laughter with nothing being said) so after 2 years we leave the Lyons behind.
I will be paying all the episodes I have of "A Life Of Bliss". Young George Cole, later of St Trinian's and Minder fame is the shy young batchelor, David Bliss.
A couple of Thrillers in the book reading section, before starting on a Conan-Doyle classic.
If you have any suggestions, let me know. Someone has just emailed to ask for more "Just William" stories, so I'll see what I can do in the 5.30 slot later in the year.
