Dylan Thomas at the BBC
- Synopsis
- Nowhere is Dylan Thomas’s language more rich and fantastic than in his best-known work, Under Milk Wood. He was also a popular radio entertainer and the BBC Archives contain a wealth of material featuring Dylan Thomas - not only readings of his own work, but also dramatic readings of other work such as Dr Faustus. These, together with interviews with the poet, form a fascinating audio portrait of a brilliant man. Dylan Thomas at the BBC is presented by Paul Ferris, biographer of Thomas and editor of his letters.
