Judi Dench & Michael Williams: With Great Pleasure

A delightful pairing of archive programs in which Judi Dench, in the company of her husband Michael Williams and their friends John Moffatt and Alec McCowen, reads a cornucopia of poetry and prose. Interspersed with witty and reflective banter, the readers breathe life into wonderful verse by the likes of Coleridge, Dylan Thomas, DH Lawrence, Sylvia Plath, WH Auden, Roger McGough, Charlotte Mitchell, and Shakespeare. The result is a warm and entertaining time spent in their company. The programs are 'With Great Pleasure' (Radio 4, 1991) and 'Fond and Familiar' (Radio 4, 1996).
