| 20070304 | In this Radio 3 special commission, Peter Ackroyd dramatises the life of William Blake. In 1805, with England at war and in constant fear of invasion, radicalism was the equivalent of treason.

William Blake....Robert Glenister James Deville....David Warner Catherine Blake....Miriam Margolyes Kedges....David Timson Mrs Deville....Alison Pettitt Samuel Rose....Sean Barrett Billy Cosway....Hugh Ross Scofield....Mark Gillis Armitage....Brian Croucher Boy....Deo Simcox Directed by Roy McMillan. |
