"BONNIE PRINCE CHARLIE"
Sir.-We enjoyed the broadcast "Bonnie Prince Charlie" from 4YA, but why was it so short? There are many of us who belong to families who were out in the "45" and have heard stories handed down to us. After all, two hundred years is not a long period for those of us who have a long line of Highland ancestry. Had the broadcast been for an hour perhaps they would have been able to include more of the familiar Jacobite songs. Why, though, were Prince Charlie and his father, James VIII. of Scotland, referred to as the Old and. Young Pretender? Nobody at the Glen- . "finnay gathering would think of them as such. In an otherwise delightful broadcast that was the only jarring note, and it did jar.
