@@nibblypig6291 I can see where the original post is coming from. I'd say they could mean tolerance. There is an increasing lack of it towards those whom think, act or hold views different to them. For instance, when I started cycling 53 years ago, it was unheard of for someone to abuse me for simply being on the the road, now I would say it's a weekly occurence, no matter how helpful or considerate a cyclist I try to be (I also a car driver of 44 years).
The irony being that that area of Surrey has remained a bastion of privilege and wealth and to this day indulges in the type of NIMBYism the authour / playright is yet to meet / acknowledge.

In England during the 50's there was a brand of film called "Ealing Comodies" always a wonderful cast of characters stop the closure of a steam railway line etc etc. This is an audio version of those "let's make the village a hip spot" movies. In a lull after the exhaustion of the War nothing happened and in the late 50s and early sixties the Country woke up. I thought this play was a delight - old Vicars and shopkeepers looking for the bacon - where I lived was exactly like that. This is also pre-sexual revolution so there's not even a stolen kiss in the bakery. Thank you, this was a delight and gave me a warm feeling- it's an audio cartoon of course but this life style actually existed .
Thank you so much for posting Cheston,Radio ! !i,see Arch has been again had his channel cancelled for the 3rd time so please take care to keep yours alive!!!”
Eddie Munster Yes Eddie, I’ve been listening to his channel since I discovered him and his first channel on Utube and this is the 3rd one Arch has had his taken down. I think in the past it’s may have been copy write problems but can’t see that this time around with Arch Phoenix. Someone has it in for him! At some point sadly I think he’ll say, that’s it I’ve had enough, having posted his plays 3 times already!!!!!
Whoopee! 👏👏👏👏👏👏Thanks for the above information Eddie, I never thought of doing that!! Yes he’s back and apparently I’m subscribed.. it’s under arch Phoenix Stanton...👍😊

yep - especially as we keep listening to their plays for free! But they should put more on four xtra they have so many but seem to often repeat the same ones ..
@@oblongtom I have packed that one in myself because of the continual repeats. They will be using LibriVox next. It's just a job creation scheme for the spare parts that hang around BBC studios.
@@oblongtomThe UK citizens pay a licence fee every year, so they have been paid for. What you imply is that everytime you listen to anything you have to pay every time, which in a country in the midst of recession with foodbanks and more austerity, is probably impractical at the present time.
Shanelle Kay Well, actually they didn’t. That’s the point of the thing. The beginning of the end. The age of regress in the name of progress. The old lady was as sharp as a tac!
There’s an episode in the wonderful series Foyle’s War which reminds me of this. Developers want to destroy a village green that goes back to the Magna Carta. Foyle mentions that it isn’t just any old green but an archeological site... w plenty of findings... which info saves the Green & the people of Hastings from turning into an ugly “modern” town. Both that & this story show that going forward isn’t always progress. Wonderful, even suspenseful, &, at the end, poetic listening. Many thanks! 👏👏👏
The BBC has changed so much that old fashioned fiction has given way to wholeness so that all we hear is personal angst dressed up as a story. Everybody is dead miserable, with mental health problems and all are portrayed as victims, with men being the oppressors. That's not for me. I can get that at home every day of the week👍
What, Peter are you doing to induce such misery in your household ? How vast is your collection of angst ridden, depressed females ? Is there a cellar that normal, decent folk need to find to liberate your captives ?
@@damarekonayaro5781 Well, I grew up with the BBC when it was trusted by the majority of the British people. It is now just a Woke organisation which is funded by a tax which few wish to pay and which I no longer pay. A bloated organisation with managers and executives who freeloading on that tax. So, I am entitled to look back at the time when the BBC was an organisation to be proud of. What experience do you and your fellow travellers have of the BBC as it was. In other words I have an opinion which is based upon MY experience.
Like many objects in our lives they don't make radio dramas like this any more , B.B.C Radio4 plays full of woke nonsense and political correctness these days . No doubt lost so many followers over the years ,thankfully we can listen to some gems from the past
From the days when BBC and Rolls Royce stood for the best in the world... Sadly, the former has gone insane, and the latter is owned by the Germans... Enough said?
Nice play. Also tells the machinations of senior folks in government and wealthy are similar in any country of the world. Just screw the ordinary people for their own greed.
I usually love these Saturday Night Theatre productions but found this one quite dull and plodding and with a rather suspect underlying message. Essentially we don't care if you go and build your factories and homes somewhere else but not in our back yard.
Get some education you silly girl this is what English people used to be like...not like you lot now...every other word is a swear word and you have no commence sense ....I loved my time as a young women...but I really feel sorry for society to-day.....SO SAD.

Loved this. Transports you back in time.
Adore, these old pieces of a different time! Thank you for continuing to entertain us with life from a simpler, kinder era. 🇺🇸
Kinder? Brush up on social history!
Simpler and kinder for whom?

Well that was a play for the times, in these days of growth, growth, growth at any cost and bugger the consequences. A great treat, thanks.

An Ealing audio comedy-- are there more?
*Comodies - love it.
I remember the Titfield Thunderbolt---the movie about a train; we watched it every Christmas. Lovely.

😂😂 What a nice twist at the end, that was one smart old lady!😊
I Totally loved it . Thank You.
Absolutely brilliant.
I enjoyed this one a lot. Wryly humorous .
Oh, very good. I didn't see that ending coming. So nice to hear such old-fashioned voices again.
Love these old plays

And me I love them I just close my eyes and listen 💕💕
The whole of the BBC is going to go the same way as these plays too!
Such a shame the great BBC is being run into the ground by stupid woke imbeciles.
So very sad!

Too woke now
Excellent !!!!!!!!
Absolutely wonderful.
Thank you
A British comedy about developing a new town and the villagers fight against it. Gentle with lots of archetypes. Set post world war 2.
Ty Clive. It's nice to hear again.
Excellent!
Thoroughly enjoyed it 👍🏽😀
"The past is a foreign country", unfortunately so true and the present is much to be regretted.
This is truly fantastic but so so sad that these times are gone by but like in the programme things change over time!!
The comments about the changes within the BBC seem highlighted by the theme of the delightful radio play.. Change and modernisation....
Really enjoyed this, sadly this sort of thing happening everywhere these days, its all about greed and profit? Ruining the countryside!
Sounds wonderful when people had respect for others

Excellent drama. I also enjoy the light orchestra music and wonder if it's possible to find a cd of that type of music?
what a fantastic story. Montgomery possessed real insight into the lunatic machinations of government. Little changes
I used to live in chiddingfold wow
thx. :)

Would a synopsis be too much to ask ?
Love it xx
Fun ! are there more ??
Enjoyed this drama.Ministry of devolpement planing building a new town causes more problems
I always wonder in scenarios such as this, how much of this is based on reality or historic practices
Good story
This is a 2023 satire on HS2 isn't it 😂???
Isnt this the plot of Blot on the Landscape?
We who are now in 65-80 had the best 1950s-70s now the whole world's in a mess.

What year was this written and is it a drama
7th July 1962. It's a dramatisation of John Montgomey's light novel.
From the days when BBC and Rolls Royce stood for the best in the world... Sadly, the former has gone insane, and the latter is owned by the Germans... Enough said?
Nice play. Also tells the machinations of senior folks in government and wealthy are similar in any country of the world. Just screw the ordinary people for their own greed.
Please look at Cpre....
