Talks and Travels Of recent talks—how wide a field the
B.B.C. covers, and in general how well!—there has been Professor Plucknett's series, Looking At The Law, which surveys one English institution about which we need feel no qualms. Among other good things, Mr. Peter Fleming—though it goes to my heart not to be able to parade my Impartiality by savaging a colleague-critic—has been greatly enlivening the air with his war-time experiences in Three Journeys. It ts a good many years since Brazilian Adventure started Mr. Fleming off on his gentlemanly gipsying. In these talks—last week he was relating his travels in the Norway expedition of 1940— he retains the same blend of adventure and mockery. His micro-
phone style, which leans heavily towards irony, is beautifully ia tune with the character of his script.
