I have already listened to this on your same channel and it's great. I enjoyed it tremendously... ... So whomever has not listened to this play take the time you most definitely will enjoy !!!
Oh that sinking feeling when they talk about their hopes for the next few years. All I could think of were the 4 young man of my family, who were to die in the war.
Agree. One of the subtle tragic ironies is when Lillian says she’d like to go listen to Captain Scott’s talk when he comes back. In October 1912 (when this is set) Scott is generally accepted to have been dead, although news didn’t reach the wider world til February 1913. So as Lillian is expressing her wish, it’s already impossible.
Quite possibly my favourite play. A family unexpectedly and briefly reunited, all wanting what others have. I think Charlie is the only one who seems to have no regrets - he just seems comfortable being a jobbing actor.
You're getting them free !! ( your comment epitomizes the outrageous sense of entitlement and ingratitude that makes modern Britain the hellhole it has become.! )
If you can tolerate the first 8 minutes of the intolerable son ( Wilfred ) then it improves. ! Difficult to believe Dr Kirby could be the parent of such a complete wetwipe . !
He's dreadful isn't he. And "in charge" even he goes to Africa even though he has no talent and an overinflated sense of his own abilities... his view of his piano playing shows that.
I've only ever heard this and An Inspector Calls from J B Priestly. Both so full of intrigue, secrets and misunderstandings.
So good

J B Priestley always leaves us with something to think about and we can relate his stories to our own, in some sense.
Thank you

New subscriber. I've just had a look back through you back catalogue.... *plenty* to work my way through!!
Very enjoyable
Sadly the adverts were longer than each segment of play.
Adverts ruined it
The adverts drove me mad
Please could you tell me what the intro music is to the J B Priestly radio plays?
I’d love to know, it’s a lovely piece
Shazam - at the fourth attempt - got this. It’s Brian Caine, Memories of Love. Really fitting for this play.
Thank you so much, checking him out now!
Hi, without seeming rude I’m finding it very frustrating that there are so many plays that are re-loaded as new downloads
