He read History at Merton College, Oxford from 1949 to 1952, and was awarded an MA in 1956. Price was a journalist with the Westminster Press from 1952 to 1988, as well as the editor of the Oxford Times from 1972 to 1988.

@waynegeordiesdad648 3 года назад

Here's a quick synopsis for everyone "Paul Mitchell spends his days researching WWI; his quiet life in the library can hardly be in greater contrast to the carnage he studies. Until, that is, the present catches up with him in the shape of Dr Audley of the MOD. Why does Audley want to know what really happened during the battle for Hameau Ridge on the Somme in 1916? The answer is complex and dangerous." Cheers from Canada North

@Sapper094 3 года назад

How about some synopsis for your plays? Not really interested in the authors, more interested in knowing what l’m going to be listening to 🤷‍♂️

@sohara.... 2 месяца назад

I like to know the genre, and a tiny bit about story ... but it someone gives a synopsis I'm not going to watch it with the same enthusiasm. For example, if I'd known what a play was about that I listened today would not have followed it. Story was great, but it wouldn't have been a topic that I'd have chosen. Am glad I had the suspense of not knowing ... and being able to admire the evolution of a character *from daughter to a very plucky adult!* 😊 I know what you mean, though.

Very good, and good to hear the young Martin Jarvis. Thank you very much for uploading this.

@TheNemocharlie 4 месяца назад

I agree. But perhaps not his eventual ubiquity when we had BBC Jarvis when TV or radio, he was in everything. I particularly remember an episode of Morse that he spoilt for me at least. He has such a distinctive voice and appearance - he always appears to be Martin Jarvis playing Martin Jarvis. Just like Dinsdale Langdon only plays Dinsdale Langdon. I suppose Tom Hardy is the complete opposite.

@tomcarberry4445 8 месяцев назад

Agreed. The acting and subject was wonderful. My eldest Uncle on, my Mother’s side was killed in action during this war in 1917. His regiment was the Royal Scots Fusiliers he was 17. I have the letters my Grandmother received from the War Office relating to his death. I also have his cigarette case that still contains two Five Packs of Woodbines, items I cherish. The music at the end of the play was Pack up your troubles in your old kit bag. Thank you for posting this story CR.

There once was a time when Martin Jarvis became ubiquitous and if a French accent was required for a character it was always Andre Marrane. Their voices are so distinctive and not necessarily in a good way....

@Failte630 9 дней назад

SPOILER ALERT!!! Well, I enjoyed listening to this very much, but to be honest, I didn't follow what it was all about. Was it about the war in the Somme and something that someone should be ashamed of, , the old rifles/guns or the meeting taking place in present day (which I could make out the reason for)? Thanks for uploading. Peace.

@TheNemocharlie 3 месяца назад

@@roelienpostma2367 Well, it's a relief that at least one person has the same problem. It's even worse with a James Bond or Mission Impossible film. The beginning (say 5-10%) and the end (another 5-10%) are normally quite clear, but it's the bit that joins the two, the 80-90%, that whilst enjoyable enough, the plot soon disappears and I'm left wondering "Why?" all the time until the end part starts. Incidentally, I thoroughly recommend "The 4th Protocol", narrated by a young Charles Dance. Dance is excellent and it's my go-to listen when I can't sleep. I must have started listening at least half a dozen times and I'm genuinely looking forward to hearing it through properly.

@2msvalkyrie529 3 года назад

Complete drivel....albeit of the well written variety . Intriguing start - shades of Le Carre - but then morphs into the sort of adventure that would have been more suited to an episode of The Saint. Wouldn't surprise me if Anthony Price was a pseudonym for Leslie Charteris ! ( who incidentally was a very stylish and witty writer ! )
