General notes

"Gaunt's embattled pile....." "Eckard mutters Macauley's catching line as he is shown around by Leo Crook, Keeper of the Castle. In background is the interior of John o'Gaunt's gateway, built when Lancaster was the home of the Red Rose faction in the time of the Wars of the Roses."
From a single request originating from station WTAG, Worcester, Massachusetts., has grown a long series of town to town broadcasts in the North Amercian service of the BBC. The most recent programme was made in Lancaster, England for Lancaster, Massachusetts by Stephen Eckhard, Amercian-born producer of the BBC. The progamme was broad cast in non-advertising time.
