Starting this afternoon on Radio Four
« on: September 06, 2009, 01:39:47 PM »
Classic Serial: Boswell's Life of Johnson, part 1

3.00-4.00pm, Sunday 6 September 2009, repeated Saturday 12 September 2009

Young James Boswell comes to London to seek out his hero. He wants to write a biography of the great man "in scenes", with Johnson's conversation cast as dialogue. Nothing quite like this has ever been attempted before. With Kenneth Cranham as Dr Johnson and Paul Higgins as James Boswell.

It is part of the Beeb's Johnson series

Actually didn't think "Boswell" was all that good ~ I learned nothing from the thing. Mostly a rehash of Johnson quotes which we have heard a hundred times before.
