Fireside Exploration
TORIES of exploration have a perennial appeal to those of us whose lives keep us in cities and comparatively safe places, and any radio serial dealing with this subject will always command a large audience of fireside participators willing. to visit the ends of the earth without personal discomfort. In this mood I tuned to the first instalment of a new 4ZB serial dealing with the wellknown story of Stanley and Livingstone. When I say "well-known," I suppose this is a slight exaggeration; possibly, like (continued on next page)
(continued from previous page) myself, most listeners would know only the bare facts of the situation, and would leave it to the script-writer to enlarge their further technical knowledge of safari in Darkest Africa, The first instalment was certainly full of such data, and the initial obstacles in Stanley’s way seemed so insuperable that I was pleased to be merely listening instead of participating in that Particular piece of exploration. It is difficult to judge a serial by the first instalment, but this begins well.
