Thursday

Announcer: And now here are some of the things you can listen to this evening here on Radio 3. Our Thursday play is at nine and is called Wisdom People Talking; it’s about a small group of old age men sitting in a social club remembering the past. At 7: 30 we have My Favorite Discs in which Jenny Lindley talks about the records that influenced her musical career. At 10:30 there is an account by James Farmer of his travels in the Middle East by bicycle and at 11:00 there is a service from St. Paul’s. On Radio 4 the big event of the evening is the broadcast of La Traviata from the Albert Hall; it’s at 9:00 and it has Felicity Newcombe in the major role. The interval talk at 9:15 is Peter Morris remembering his adventures while fishing in Scotland. Radio 1 has usual continuous pop music; from 6 to 8 it’s the Tommy Brian Show with interviews with live pop stars; from 10 till midnight it’s Joe Newland with his friend. So if you are in for the evening or listening to the car radio, there should be something for you; stay tuned.
