Love on the Dole by RONALD GOW and WALTER GREENWOOD with and Ronald Gow enters his 90th year this month and this new production is a celebration of that event. 
It is 1934 in Hanky Park, Salford - unemployment and poverty are rife. The Hardcastle family, like all their neighbours, struggle to survive. 
Sally sees a more promising future through her friendship with Larry Meath and his vision of a truly socialist future, but destructive forces surround them.

I agree that this is the only surviving adaptation and so does SuttonElms, which is far more important. :>)

This is just one sad example of the BBC's waste of good radio drama.

[Mike Stevens]

I agree SuttonElms and Radio Circle are doing a wonderful job of rescuing BBC radio drama
