In Memoriam: Cambridge 1976

Apart from sitting my Finals and a enduring a heatwave...

... one of my most vivid memories from 1976 in Cambridge was our looking forward to Les Misérables, a radio dramatisation which began at just after 9 : 00 pm on Sunday evenings. I was and remain a big fan of radio drama, preferring it as a general rule to someone else's imaginings on a TV or film screen.
