Richard Wortley:
SOME REFLECTIONS
OF A LIFETIME IN RADIO:
Annus Mirabilis 1978
Three 'Giles Cooper' Awards for 'my' writers.
1. Don Haworth- Episode on a Thursday Evening
2. Tom Mallin- Halt!- Who Goes There?
3. Jennifer Phillips- Daughters of Men
Those Methuen blue covered books - another form of eye-candy.
Two encounters with fifteen-minute drama auditions:
1. A woman arrived with a large reticule and startled we three adjudicators. This was within a convention of listening from behind closed blinds to the 'pure' voice. "I will begin with Handel's Messiah" she declared, believing she had come to a music audition.
2. A man arrived to demonstrate his gift for British dialects. He offered at least eight of them, each one identical.
Always 'letter to follow' - we had a rather cowardly method of not warning off 'the hopeless' on the spot.
