Well I heard some shocking language. I was..well,shocked.

I love the fact that people wrote wonderful radio plays just so we could hear the brilliant Flora Robson be her brilliant self. I love everything she’s in.

The folly of the young. Very good theatre, the meeting and mergin of two different generations. Thumbs up!

I rarely leave comments, but this audio play was just one of the best! Adored it... not the usual crime drama or romance. Thank you so much Mr C!!

I have never commented before but want say what a great play! Thank you

One of the best stories I've heard in a longtime . Brilliant ! Highly recommended this one

Somewhat taken aback my this story listen with enjoyment thanks very much

Simply exquisite. Thank you.

I do love the story ...the very story of the lady and three students of university.The very bond between them is so special and lovely.The lady with her lovely personality as well as decipline had been comfort them.

Loved every minute of this play, even though it was written with a different generation in mind. Totally relaxing for a lovely afternoon,s or evening's entertainment

Thoroughly enjoyed this play, the inter-twinning of the generational ages, giving all a new understanding on life , was complex but simplistic at times, very well written

Utterly fabulous. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of the play. Brilliantly played by all. A heart warming and thoughtful story.

just wonderful wonderful wonderful!

So beautiful in every way

That was just lovely. Moving and full of joy and love ❤️

A thoughtful & sweet way to begin my Sunday morning... thank you... 🌼

Wow1 This tale of three undergrads and the land lady is stunning, Thank you all, so well done and I am deeply appreciative.

I really enjoyed it. Wonderful. Please don't hesitate to listen. More please 👏😀

Very engaging tale of an aging writer's encounter with the younger generation. Sensitive listeners should have a handkerfchief close at hand.

I'm looking forward to listening to this at bedtime. At 64yrs which age bracket do I fall into? lol. Regards, Dave

As ever that was brilliant thank you I wonder in the future if people will remember Maggie Smith and Judi dench dame flora Robson with a towering actress and so are they both

That was a beautifully written and performed work of art. Nothing less! I cried at the end! Thank you so much 👏

Beautiful play with a truly original story line. Thank you Chesterton Radio for offering us such a diverse range of plays.

Wonderful! Thank you.

Brilliant 👏 and beautiful ❤😊🎉

How wonderful , my first ever visit to a theatre was to The Flora Robson Playhouse in about 1963 ! ( school culture trip ) those were the days . Now I’m snuggled up in bed , the snow is high and Winter nights just get better.....Thanks for the Memories 😊❤️

Absolutely brilliant

This was beautiful 💜 Fantastic whistful nostalgic and stirring. Wonderful acting too. Thank you. 😊

Just beautiful! Thank you!

This was so wonderful , really joyful. 😆⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.

Thank you Chesterton.... this is a wonderful and "modern" drama (for the time) featuring Dame Flora Robson in a specially written drama for her. She plays an author living in an old house built in the 15th century and catering for three individual university students in their final year...and all their prevailing issues. Surprisingly modern for Dame Flora but, if I could remind listeners, she also worked with Morecambe and Wise. Recommended. NB....cast list at the end. Check Genome (source) too.

Beautiful ending

If you want to know how to act listen to Flora Robson you can't get any better than that

Brillant thank you

I loved listening to this radio play. Never heard of these plays from the BBC theatre before - such a treat! Thank you for posting such wonderful shows!

Wow, the acting in this was superb! How refreshingly different. What a wonderful story!

Thanx Dear Uncle Chesterton.....I really enjoyed that one. Dame Flora is always so wonderful and engaging to listen to !....oh and BTW-please give all My and Lottie's best to Auntie Elvira for us.

How beautiful....thank u.

What a delight this was. So we’ll done. Thanks

Just an amazing experience listening to this exquisite play so well performed by the actors. Thank you to whoever made it available. You've made an old man very happy. ;))))

This supports my never wanting to have anyone move in.

💙Dame Flora! I believe there were others written for her. (heard some of "The Dame Flora Fest" on ABS or one of our many dearly departed chs, way back when😿) Margo Boyd's cameo, excellent of course! CH def knew how to leave us wanting more! Easily a multi epi series & a screenplay. No spoilers here but...How about 1:10.ish !?👏 Hope if a similar RL sitch ever happens... please let me remember 1:11! 😹

Did anyone else think maybe dickens was charles dickens in his youth? Or am I dreadfully mistaken?

Do you mean a reincarnation? Charles Dickens early life was exactly the opposite of Dicken in the play.

Flora was unique!

Excellent play thought provoking, and very well acted and the different Personalities were perfectly portrayed,😊 only spoilt slightly by the vile girls behaviour🤨

Why couldn't he make brass musical instruments?

I believe Mary had only 1 Son. .Jesus !!!!

A bit dated. We no longer react in contemptuous fear to radical students, nor portray them as always foul-mouthed layabouts. I hope...

With student fees instead of grants they can't afford to be rebellious!

5 minutes of Dickon was as much as I could take. Rather sad that Dame Flora should end up in drivel like this.
