Noble Pens
STATION 3YA is to be congratulated on taking a leaf from the BBC’s Book of Verse in the new Sunday afternoon anthology series From Noble Pens. The first of these quarter-hour programmes, devised by Robert Newman, and read by Diana Craig and. Robert Newman, touched on Man and Living. The excerpts stretched from the Psalms, through the metaphysical poet John Hall, Shakespeare (bits from Hamlet and Measure for Measure), Carlyle, the first few lines of Pope’s Essay. on Man, a wry bit of juggling from Thomas Hood, and stopped in the 19th Century with Tennyson. The pieces were well chosen and well read, the background music, once it decided that its place was between readings, appropriate and unobtrusive, the cata ar professionally smooth.
