GKC and BBC

Sorry for my absence. I'm still not back up to full health, time-wise. In the meantime:


On December 7, 1936, the BBC, which had started in public television only five weeks before, broadcast a televised pantomimedirected and performed by Hilary D. C. Pepler, a Ditchling associate of Eric Gill. Originally the performance had been planned by Pepler and G.K. Chesterton as a benefit for the Distributist League and was produced at London's Little Theater on June 28, 1936, shortly after Chesterton's death. [Evans, America, December 26, 1987, pp. 501-02]
