Historical encounters: Paul McCartney is congratulated by Noel Coward. Read by Eleanor Bron and Tom Hollander.
Life is made up of individuals meeting one another. Often it is the most fleeting of these encounters that, in the fullness of time, turn out to be the most noteworthy.
Paul McCartney is congratulated by Noel Coward. The Adriana Hotel, Rome - June 27th 1965
Noel Coward is serenaded by Prince Felix Youssoupoff. Biarritz July 29th 1946
Ingenious in its construction, witty in its narration, panoramic in its breadth, 'One on One' offers a delightful series of snapshots of the 20th century.
Readers: Eleanor Bron and Tom Hollander
Abridged and Produced by Jill Waters
A Waters Company Production for 大象传媒 Radio 4.
