Half-hour Doses
"HE choice of Westward Ho! as a} serial to be administered to 4YC | listeners in half-hour doses is perhaps | an indication of how far some YC | stations have deviated from the original | plan of providing their listeners with | adult programmes of a high standard. | This BBC production does not appear to be of such high artistic merit as to_ justify its inclusion in 4YC’s evening | programme, while the story itself, broken into thirty-minute fragments, tends to > lose the excitement it may possess when taken in one gulp. While I should not > like to deny that Westward Ho! has any function in our programmes, I feel it would be better placed at the end of the evening, where its decidedly soporific effect might be of some value. And even this is of minor importance, when one remembers that the time occupied so unprofitably by Westward Ho! could be used by work of greater merit, or by our
local writers.
