Radio diary
"Real horror .. brilliantly achieved” is how Emlyn Williams’ classic thriller “Night Must Fall” has been described. Listen on the Concert Programme at 9 this evening, and draw your own conclusion about this story of suspense set in south-east England in 1935. If you missed the National Radio sciencefiction series “Masters of Paxwax” the first time round, now is the chance to catch up. New Zealand writer Phillip Mann’s epic space adventure, read by Dick Weir, goes on air Monday to Friday at 7 in
20 episodes, starting this evening. Children’s writer Margaret Mahy sees herself more as a teller of traditional fairy tales, rather than a yarn spinner. Tomorrow evening she talks with Elizabeth Alley about fantasy, physics and philosophy in Writers at Work. Since 1969 she has published more than 80 books, among these two Carnegie Medal winners, "The Haunting” and “The Changeover.” Leading Russian pianist Vladimir Ashkenazy can be heard twice on the Concert programme on
Wednesday evening, at 8 and 9. First he plays Beethoven’s “Andante Favori in F” and "Fur Elise.” Then he is interviewed in depth by Dr Anthony Clare In The Psychiatrist’s Chair. Worth hearing on National Radio:f22 Joyce Grenfell reading her autobiography (10.45 each evening), “The Drowned Village,” a gnetle ghost story (7.30 p.m. Tuesday), Striking the Happy Media (8.05 p.m. Wednesday), and the Christmas play “Half-Way House” (9 p.m. Wednesday). Good listening in 1988. — James Homes.
