Great Lives [07/08/2007]
- Synopsis
- Radio series of biographical discussions with Matthew Parris. In this episode Jude Kelly, artistic director of London’s Southbank Centre, nominates Edwardian theatre producer Lilian Baylis. Among various Shakespeare references the programme also features a sound clip made at the home of the medium Leslie Flint.

in old English". - Series
