OVER THE HUMP
FALL ON GRASS, based on the novel by Ian Gordon, represents something new in entertainment from the ZBs and 1XH. The adventures of Chris Lyle and Oliver Sturges, two exR.A.F. men engaged in ferrying planes . over the "Hump" from India to China, will, be told in a short serial of four half-
hour instalments, beginning on Monday, April 23, and to be heard on the three following Mondays. In Calcutta after the war, Lyle and Sturges set up in the import-export business. They meet Ranjit Singh, another former pilot who emerged from the war with one arm. However, Ranjit has perceptibly gone up in the world since then and offers them the chance to make money ferrying planes. Not till their plane crashes in Burma do they realise thdt Ranjit is incidentally paying off an old score, because it was on a patrol with Lyle that he lost his arm. _ Lyle and Sturges are played by Roger Climpson and Walter Sullivan, and the sinister Ranjit Singh by Guy Doleman.
