The BBC have digitally remastered Richard Burton's 1963 reading with new recordings of the other parts (Sian Phillips as Second Voice) and are broadcasting it on Radio 4 on Saturday afternoon, 15 November at 2.30pm GMT. They reckoned (says next week's Radio Times) that apart from Burton, the original actors had old-fashioned vocal styles and quaint posh Welsh accents.
