Classic Serial - The Rime of the Ancient Mariner

Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem, here dramatised for radio, was composed and first published 200 years ago. It has remained a quotable favourite ever since, while arguments abound over what it all means. Why does the mariner shoot the albatross and is the poem a Christian parable? With John Nettles, Ken Smith and Philip Madoc. Director Tim Dee
