Spoken Programmes
N the last few weeks there has been a noticeable increase in the number of programmes originating from the BBC; and this is to my mind a most welcome ‘change. No doubt we have a supply of learned scholars, poets and artists in this country who are capable | of providing programmes of great merit; but whether from lack of time, interest | or worthwhile financial reward for their efforts, they rarely seem to be heard, In recent weeks we have heard C. Day Lewis speaking on modern poetry, an interesting collection by Ewan MacColl
of living ballads, Denys Page with a talk on Troy, V. Sackville-West in a tribute to Walter de la Mare, a very mixed bag of English novelists speaking about their first novels, and several excellent BBC features on science. Extensive use should continue to be made of these | well-produced features, which at the present time almost invariably provide the best moments in our listenine to
speken programmes. ----------_-~
