BBC R4 - Robin Glendinning's 'Playing For Time'
Directed by Jeremy Howe
Broadcast May 22, 2004
Coded from tape at 128/44.1

May, 1940. Military disaster in France. A new
war policy is needed. Chamberlain has to go.


This play is about nine cabinet meetings over three
days, where, against the odds the following resulted:

* Halifax and the appeasers would not govern;
* Britain would not sue for peace; and,
* Churchill would be Prime Minister.

Worth listening to just to understand how near run
a thing it was.
