Edward Bond - Chair (BBC R4 2000-04-07) Written specially for radio by Edward Bond, this drama is set in the year 2077, a time when all our needs are provided for but our freedom is severely curtailed. Alice has been living with a secret she dare not disclose. Neighbours and relatives are dangerous to confide in or even speak to. A thought-provoking exploration of the human capacity for brutality, and ultimately, the inability to deny our humanity. Alice: Maggie Steed Billy: Chris Pavlo Officer: Jean Heywood Prisoner: Jean Heywood Soldier: Andrew Wincott Director: Turan Ali The Friday Play: Chair Fri 7th Apr 2000 21:00 on BBC Radio 4 FM

Radio drama, old-time radio and historic broadcasts from the Internet Archive (its Old Time Radio collection with the Old Time Radio Researchers' sets, WWII Era Audio Recordings, the Pacifica Radio Archives, the Radio Haiti Archive, German radio plays and listeners' uploads), Wikimedia Commons (with the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision's broadcasts) and the Library of Congress. Every episode plays from its archive, which this site does not copy; rights are as each archive states them. Nothing here is called public domain on this site's say-so. In the United States, sound recordings first fixed before 15 February 1972 have federal protection under the Music Modernization Act of 2018, for most until 2067 at the latest, so most American radio of the 1930s to the 1950s is not in the public domain there. Each set shows the licence, mark or statement its archive gives, and says whose it is. Horror, crime, war and westerns are for teenage and adult profiles, racist caricature for adults only, and children’s profiles hear what was made for children. More about these archives.
