In a special edition, Roger McGough re-visits extracts from A.E Housman's 'A Shropshire Lad' read by the late Pete Postlethwaite, which were recorded in 1996.
There are so many well known lines from A.E. Housman's poetry - 'Into My Heart an Air That Kills, 'When I Was One and Twenty', 'Ale's the Stuff,' to name just a few. All feature in today's programme as Roger re-visits the readings that Pete Postlethwaite recorded of A.E. Housman's 'A Shropshire Lad.' Though neither Pete Postlethwaite nor Housman came from Shropshire, it seems that both fell in love with its Blue Remembered Hills.
Producer: Sarah Langan.
