Great Ormond Street
(_HILDREN IN HOSPITAL proved | to be a dull BBC documentary | which compared unfavourably with the | NZBS production for schools on the | work of Selina Sutherland, also heard | recently. The main difference was prob-| ably caused by the fact that where the New Zealand production was centred round a vivid personality, the BBC re- | lied on vaguely-imagined benevolent doctors, so that too much of the script ran: Oh, save my child, with the reply | of the something-must-be-done variety | We were given some dramatic rescues; | but to cinema-hardened audiences that. is now an old story. The highlight of the programme was an impassioned appeal by Dickens, given by Emlyn Williams. | a fact that might well have been men-| tioned before the programme, in view | of Williams’s enormous success in his readings from Dickens overseas.
