Don’t forget (for all you Brit types) that Richard is reading a play today. Below is a short preview of it.

Some years ago, playwright James Whyle’s brother handed him a packet of letters stored by the family after their father’s early death. In 1911, aged 14, he had emigrated to South Africa but soon found himself back in Europe as a soldier in the first world war. The experiences he reported back to his uncle are the basis of the Afternoon Play: Dancing With The Dead (2.15pm, Radio 4). Featuring Richard E Grant, the piece starts slowly, but stick with it. It becomes a well-observed and moving tale.

Pat sent in a cute pic of REG with Olivia which you can see here. It’s an older pic but it’s still a very nice one!
