Description

It's been 40 years since the beloved John Masefield novel The Box of Delights was adapted for BBC TV, and in this special episode, Paul sits down with Masefield scholar Dr Philip Errington and Time & Tide documentary producer Chris Chapman.  Join them for a deep dive into the making of this iconic adaptation, including how one of the Joneses is now playing a role in getting postmasters the compensation they deserve, why the episode five cliffhanger is in the wrong spot, and why the Trojans didn't encounter the old lady with the ring.  Or did they?
