A good, though rather sad, portrayal of the tensions, affections, and disappointments of family life, which anyone who has reached Mrs C's age will relate to. A very interesting play. Thank you.
Hey y'all, I'm Amanda. Plz do me a favor & hit SUBSCRIBE & the THUMBS UP as it helps my videos get recommended to others. Thanks! Much appreciated! 😉🎙️
Thank you so much for putting this play on for us……..I used to listen to Saturday Night Theatre in the 70s , never missed it…then Alister Cooke Sunday morning….
A synopsis would be very helpful and many people have asked for this. It would be such a helpful addition to your site instead of the rah rah against the bbc
You are so very welcome thank you so much for listening it is very appreciated! I've been away from the channel but as of today I am back part-time and will be uploading! Have a great day and take care 👋😉-Amanda

BBC Radio 4 November 1, 1969 by ANGUS WILSON adapted for radio by ERIC EWENS with Marjorie Westbury, Geoffrey Wincott and Brian Haines Enforced retirement throws Sylvia Calvert at the mercy of her family. But mercy has a double face ... Timbo Egan. ...FREDERICK TREVES Other parts MADI HEDD HILDA KRISEMAN, JOHN BRYNING Produced by NORMAN WRIGHT
Though in fairness to the son, he seems to be a driven, hyper-conscientious type who has lost his adored wife (who was maybe the stabilising force in his life?) and can't find anyone with whom he can share the intensity of his grief. Not an ideal mental state in which to be trying to guide young adult children.
So glad Mrs C. became her own person in the end. Gentle but determined assertion always wins the day.
Agreed and yes it always does, at least most of the time! Thanks for listening! Please subscribe if you haven't already. TY -Amanda 👋

Glad you enjoyed it thanks again for listening! 👋
So pleased I heard this one, thanks
These plays are excellent. One can gently fall asleep listening to one or, like today, make a few hours drive far more enjoyable. Thank you.
Or go into a trance listening, and lo and behold the dishes are all done.
Very enjoyable. Thank you

Her son is a very good example of how men don't listen.

Female and makes me happy to be single. As most times i do.
I love this story except for Mandy’s voice.
Great play except, yes,, her voice was so off putting & ridiculous. It’s usually a disaster when adults try and play children.
I didn't enjoy this quite so much. The plot was depressing.
Very bad sound interference.
Those irritating plummy accents.
