Fifth of a series of programmes in which Wilfred, assisted by some friends, reads a selection of his favourite poems
His guests this week include:
Betty Hardy
Harry Hutchinson
Louis MacNeice
Bernard Miles and Ralph Truman
Arranged and presented by Wilfred Pickles
Among the contributors to this week's programme are Louis MacNeice , who is the first poet in the series to read one of his own works, and Ralph Truman , who will read Edmund Blunden 's ' Incident in Hyde Park,' which describes a quarrel between two very haughty gentlemen about their dogs. Wilfred assures us that Ralph Truman is heard at his best in this piece. It demands a haughty, blu;tering style, and Wilfred remembers feelingly that when he and Ralph Truman were BBC announcers ten years ago, he often saw Ralph in this mood if there had been any error in the linking of a programme or in an announcement!

' The Story of the Treasure Seekers * by E. Nesbit. Read by Brian Smith. 9— ' Wine that maketh glad the heart of man ..."
A teaspoonful of ' Castilian Amoroso ' sherry, with eight lumps of sugar added to take away the burnt taste, certainly seems to cheer Mr. Bastable, although others have received it with a noticeable lack of enthusiasm.
