WED WED 10:00 Classic Serial b013fnz7 (Listen) WED Anthony Trollope - The American Senator, Episode 1 WED The American Senator WED By Anthony Trollope WED Dramatised by Martyn Wade WED Part One WED Arabella is determined to keep her engagement to John Morton WED a secret. Perhaps, there is a more exciting and wealthy WED husband she might be able to catch ... WED Anthony Trollope..........Robert Glenister WED Arabella Trefoil.............Anna Maxwell Martin WED Lady Augustus.............Barbara Flynn WED John Morton.................Blake Ritson WED Senator Gotobed..........Stuart Milligan WED Reginald Morton...........Daniel Rabin WED Mrs Morton..................Richenda Carey WED Mary Masters...............Penelope Rawlins WED Lawrence Twentyman...Carl Prekopp WED Lord Rufford.................Henry Devas WED Mr Bearside.................Sean Baker WED Directed by Tracey Neale WED The Story: WED In this little known tale, Anthony Trollope never allows The WED American Senator's attitude to get in the way of plot -and WED his ability to weave story strands which arise out of WED credible motivation, psychology and emotion is as sure as WED ever. The characters are as finely drawn as we have come to WED expect from the pen of Trollope. There's the extraordinary WED Arabella but also the comic, kind natured and the tragic WED characters too. WED Arabella finds herself in the ignoble occupation of WED husband/fortune-hunting. She's aware that the years are WED passing and the strain of numerous failed relationships have WED made her prospects increasingly poor. She is unofficially WED engaged to John Morton, a diplomat, and owner of a large WED estate, but now the wealthy and more exciting Lord Rufford WED has come into view. His estate being larger and more grand. WED Surely he is worth fighting for? WED Arabella, encouraged by her monstrous mother, Lady Augustus, WED decides to try and keep Morton on the back-burner (but deny WED her engagement in public) while engineering a series of WED compromising situations in an outrageous attempt to win WED Rufford. WED But Arabella is playing a dangerous game and although her WED behaviour is both conniving and ruthless, she is WED extraordinary and powerfully-drawn and so does not become an WED out-and-out anti-heroine. She is, to some degree, the victim WED of her situation - and of her mother. She is courageous as WED well as devious, and she has her pride. As the tale WED concludes and she seeks some degree of redemption she WED achieves tragic status. WED A parallel but secondary plot concerns Reginald Morton, an WED elder cousin of John, and Mary Masters, who is the complete WED antithesis to Miss Trefoil. Mary's absurd, domineering WED stepmother thinks that Mary should marry a besotted local WED farmer, Lawrence Twentyman but Mary is in love with Reginald WED Morton. Is he in love with her though? She finds support in WED the shape of Reginald's kind and gentle aunt, Lady Ushant, WED but there is the stern and grim grandmother of both John and WED Reginald who stands in the way of happiness because of a WED long-standing family feud. WED Elias Gotobed, the visiting senator of the book's title, has WED little impact on events - but he has an important part to WED play as an observer of events; a gauche but vigorous critic WED of the antiquated elements of English society and the WED establishment. Gotobed's conclusions are a supplement to WED those which can be drawn from Arabella's tale, where greed, WED class-consciousness and snobbery are mercilessly displayed. WED 'The American Senator' is, in part, a state of the nation WED novel - enhanced by the parallels between Trollope's world WED and ours. Arabella has her modern-day equivalents, and the WED Senator's remarks throughout the dramatisation about the WED working man's passive and subservient nature have not lost WED their relevance. WED The Author: WED Anthony Trollope produced a vast collection of work about WED credible people and their foibles. He gained recognition as WED a writer who portrayed English life is a wry and honest WED manner with a cast of humorous and delightful characters. WED His portrayal of female characters is particularly skilful WED and Arabella Trefoil is no exception. WED The Dramatist: WED Martyn Wade is a skilled and talented radio writer and WED dramatist. He has dramatised the 'Barsetshire' novels for WED radio and the 'Palliser' series too. His other Trollope WED dramatisations have included 'Orley Farm' and 'Miss WED Mackenzie'. He also dramatised Ada Leverson's 'The Little WED Ottleys' for Woman's Hour.

THU A sitcom set on a shiny new planet where we ask the question THU - if humankind were to colonize space, is it destined to THU succumb to self-interest, prejudice and infighting? (By the THU way, the answer's "yes". Sorry.) THU Welcome to the colony. We're aware that having been in deep THU cryosleep for 73 years, you may be in need of some THU supplementary information. THU Personnel THU Unfortunately, Burrows the leader of the colony has died on THU the voyage, so his Number 2, Brian (Nicholas Lyndhurst) is THU now in charge. He's a nice enough chap, but no alpha male, THU and his desire to sort things out with a nice friendly THU meeting infuriates the colony's Chief Physician Lillian THU (Vicki Pepperdine - "Getting On"), who'd really rather THU everyone was walking round in tight colour-coded tunics and THU saluting each other. She's also in charge of Project Adam, THU the plan to conceive and give birth to the first colony-born THU baby. Unfortunately, the two people hand-picked for this THU purpose - Carol and Richard - were rather fibbing about THU being a couple, just to get on the trip. THU Add in an entirely unscrupulous Chief Scientist, Mason and THU also Archer, an idiot maintenance man who believes he's an THU "empath" rather than a plumber, and you're all set to answer THU the question - if humankind were to colonize space, is it THU destined to succumb to self-interest, prejudice and THU infighting?

THU THU 10:00 Classic Serial b013rj8z (Listen) THU Anthony Trollope - The American Senator, Episode 2 THU The American Senator THU By Anthony Trollope THU Dramatised by Martyn Wade THU Part Two THU Lord Rufford has kissed Arabella twice but she realises that THU much more needs to be done to win him and his estate. It is THU now time to tell John Morton she no longer wants to marry THU him? THU Anthony Trollope..........Robert Glenister THU Arabella Trefoil.............Anna Maxwell Martin THU Lady Augustus.............Barbara Flynn THU John Morton.................Blake Ritson THU Senator Gotobed..........Stuart Milligan THU Lady Ushant................Joanna David THU Reginald Morton...........Daniel Rabin THU Mary Masters...............Penelope Rawlins THU Lawrence Twentyman...Carl Prekopp THU Lord Rufford.................Henry Devas THU Duchess of Mayfair.......Elaine Claxton THU Mounser Green............Joanathan Forbes THU Mrs. Masters...............Jane Whittenshaw THU Mr Bearside.................Sean Baker THU Directed by Tracey Neale THU The Story: THU In this little known tale, Anthony Trollope never allows The THU American Senator's attitude to get in the way of plot -and THU his ability to weave story strands which arise out of THU credible motivation, psychology and emotion is as sure as THU ever. The characters are as finely drawn as we have come to THU expect from the pen of Trollope. There's the extraordinary THU Arabella but also the comic, kind natured and the tragic THU characters too. THU Arabella finds herself in the ignoble occupation of THU husband/fortune-hunting. She's aware that the years are THU passing and the strain of numerous failed relationships have THU made her prospects increasingly poor. She is unofficially THU engaged to John Morton, a diplomat, and owner of a large THU estate, but now the wealthy and more exciting Lord Rufford THU has come into view. His estate being larger and more grand. THU Surely he is worth fighting for? THU Arabella, encouraged by her monstrous mother, Lady Augustus, THU decides to try and keep Morton on the back-burner (but deny THU her engagement in public) while engineering a series of THU compromising situations in an outrageous attempt to win THU Rufford. THU But Arabella is playing a dangerous game and although her THU behaviour is both conniving and ruthless, she is THU extraordinary and powerfully-drawn and so does not become an THU out-and-out anti-heroine. She is, to some degree, the victim THU of her situation - and of her mother. She is courageous as THU well as devious, and she has her pride. As the tale THU concludes and she seeks some degree of redemption she THU achieves tragic status. THU A parallel but secondary plot concerns Reginald Morton, an THU elder cousin of John, and Mary Masters, who is the complete THU antithesis to Miss Trefoil. Mary's absurd, domineering THU stepmother thinks that Mary should marry a besotted local THU farmer, Lawrence Twentyman but Mary is in love with Reginald THU Morton. Is he in love with her though? She finds support in THU the shape of Reginald's kind and gentle aunt, Lady Ushant, THU but there is the stern and grim grandmother of both John and THU Reginald who stands in the way of happiness because of a THU long-standing family feud. THU Elias Gotobed, the visiting senator of the book's title, has THU little impact on events - but he has an important part to THU play as an observer of events; a gauche but vigorous critic THU of the antiquated elements of English society and the THU establishment. Gotobed's conclusions are a supplement to THU those which can be drawn from Arabella's tale, where greed, THU class-consciousness and snobbery are mercilessly displayed. THU 'The American Senator' is, in part, a state of the nation THU novel - enhanced by the parallels between Trollope's world THU and ours. Arabella has her modern-day equivalents, and the THU Senator's remarks throughout the dramatisation about the THU working man's passive and subservient nature have not lost THU their relevance. THU The Author: THU Anthony Trollope produced a vast collection of work about THU credible people and their foibles. He gained recognition as THU a writer who portrayed English life is a wry and honest THU manner with a cast of humorous and delightful characters. THU His portrayal of female characters is particularly skilful THU and Arabella Trefoil is no exception. THU The Dramatist: THU Martyn Wade is a skilled and talented radio writer and THU dramatist. He has dramatised the 'Barsetshire' novels for THU radio and the 'Palliser' series too. His other Trollope THU dramatisations have included 'Orley Farm' and 'Miss THU Mackenzie'. He also dramatised Ada Leverson's 'The Little THU Ottleys' for Woman's Hour.
