81	Mr HUMPHREYS & HIS INHERITANCE By M.R.JAMES M.R.James wrote some of the most memorable ghost stories in the English Language, many of which were adapted for Television in the 1970s starring Michael Horden. They are more difficult to adapt for Radio because horrible things usually happen to the main character while he is alone. This is necessarily, then, a rather free adaptation but we hope the author, who died in 1936, will not disapprove… Because if he does, he could well come back and do horrible things to us…. One at a time.. While we’re alone.	GHOST STORY 43 MINS

80	ONE IN THE EYE By Derek Webb Horatio Nelson was the greatest naval hero Britain has ever seen. What is not quite so well known is that he had an older brother…Maurice. When Lady Hamilton (reputed to be a good friend” of Horatio’s) announces she is to host a ball to celebrate his victory at the Battle of the Nile, it is up to Maurice to keep Horatio’s wife and mistress apart. But will his heroic efforts succeed? With his clerk disguised as King George III and the King himself given to bouts of insanity (rather like most of us) the result is a comedy of epic proportions. (No pigeons were harmed during the making of this production – but several fops were severely hurt by unkind remarks about their wigs).	PERIOD COMEDY 43 MINS
