It's not a patch on the dramatisation of the Michael Morpurgo novel at the National Theatre (being . . . ahem . . . a Smooth Operations production) and you can't see the puppets, but it was OK. |

That said, I'm still glad I recorded it for him. Stand to, Bonny Lads was the only song I hadn't heard before (either on CBS's Great War material or from Lark Rise), and I'd also be interested to know more about it. |

The stage production was brilliant whereas the uninspired and flat direction of the wireless adaptation had the verve of a schools radio drama and had me drifting off into What Anna Sewell Did in The Crimea and What Shall I Make For Tea. This didn't happen at the Olivier production. But then, as I remarked, you couldn't see the Handspring puppets on t'wireless . . . |
