# Years Between

Heard 1995. 1 episodes.

Dramatisation of the 1943 stage play, made into a film in 1946. 1942: Colonel Michael Wentworth M.P. is reported missing, believed dead after his plane crashed into the sea. His wife feels it is her duty to her husband's constituents to stand in his place as the local M.P. (this in the decades before today's "professional" politicians) and is highly successful in her role. Three years after the war's end (why so long as 3 years??) her husband returns, explaining that his death had been faked as part of the war effort. He expects to return to his old role, both in the family and in Parliament, but both their lives have irrevocably changed. An interesting and thoughtful piece.

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.
