"This Sceptred Isle"
"THis SCEPTRED ISLE," a new series which has just begun at 2YA, is a series of recorded half-hour sessions about the famous castles, cathedrals and towns of+ England. The theme which links the series arises out of a letter to a newspaper editor by a little girl called Virginia. She wants to know all about these places, and the editor decides to téil her in dramatic form their colourful history. Virginia is taken in narrative and drama to Westminster Abbey, St. Paul’s Cathedral, the Tower of London, Bothwell Castle, Plymouth Hoe, Lloyds of London and scores of other notable places. The part of Virginia is played by Beryl Walker, and the editor is played by Robert Burnard-both, well known to Australian radio audiences. Supporting them are leading Melbourne actors and actresses. The recordings were made in Melbourne. On the opposite page are photographs of the producer and three members of the cast of "This Sceptred Isle.’’
