A BBC Radio dramatisation of the Robert Tressell novel, first published in 1914. The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists follows a house painter's efforts to find work in the fictional English town of Mugsborough (based on the coastal town of Hastings) to stave off the workhouse for himself, his wife and his son. The novel was a sardonic critique of the way society is organised, with the ‘philanthropists’ being poorly paid workers who continue to help make profits for the owners of businesses. "We're all of us philanthropists. Toilin' and sweatin' at our noble task of making money for the bosses. Money is the cause of poverty because it’s the device used to rob the workers of the fruits of their labours. We're The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists!" Written under the pen name Robert Tressell, Robert Noonan’s semi-autobiographical novel was published posthumously. Born in Dublin in 1870 and settling in Hastings, England in 1901, Noonan was a house painter and sign writer by trade (the inspiration for his pen name). He died penniless in Liverpool from tuberculosis in 1911 and was buried in a pauper's grave. An explicitly political work, the novel is now widely regarded as a classic of working-class literature and by 2003 it had sold over a million copies. Noonan’s true identity as author of the novel was not revealed for 40 years after its publication. Episode 1 00:00 Pity the Poor Painter "We're all of us philanthropists. Toilin' and sweatin' at our noble task of making money for Mr Rushton. We're The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists!" It's Edwardian England: Frank wonders if his fellow workers will ever realise their toil is profit for others? Starring Brian Glover, Sean Barrett and Mark Straker.

The renovation continues in Edwardian England: Frank tries to educate his fellow workers about their plight. Episode 3 1:54:39 The Great Money Trick "Money is the cause of poverty because it is the device used to rob the workers of the fruits of their labours... I'll show you 'ow the Great Money Trick works." Edwardian England: pressure on the workers mounts as Frank explains ‘capitalism’. Episode 4 2:52:16 Other People's Hard Work "Seems to me we needn't bother ourselves with the ratepayers at all.... We run this town! We've got the council in our pockets!" Edwardian England: with renovation of the rich man’s house complete, the workers face winter unemployment. Episode 5 3:49:35 Always For Profit "For the employer it's a steady progress towards ease an' leisure an' independence. For the worker it's a grim journey fraught with poverty, illness and insecurity." Episode 6 4:46:42 A Beast of Burden "Work boys, work an' be contented. So long as you've enough to buy a meal. For if you will but try, you'll be wealthy by and by, if you'll only put your shoulder to the wheel." Written under the pen name Robert Tressell, Robert Noonan’s semi-autobiographical novel was published posthumously in 1914. Born in Dublin in 1870 and settling in Hastings, England in 1901, The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists is Noonan’s sardonic critique of the way society is organised, with the ‘philanthropists’ being poorly paid workers who continue to help make profits for the owners of businesses.

Saturday Night Theatre: The Ghost Runner Sat 30th Jul 1994, 19:50 on BBC Radio 4 FM David Hopkins's play is based on the true story of John Tarrant, one of the great distance runners of the 1950s and 60s. For 20 years he battled against the absurd regulations of the Amateur Athletics Association…. Director: Matthew Walters John: Paul Panting Edie: Jane Slavin Vic: Tom Bevan With John Baddeley, Elaine Claxton, Pat Connell, Lyndam Gregory, Neville Jason, David Jarvis, Frances Jeater, Peter Kenny, Ian Masters, Don McCorkindale, Gavin Muir, George Parsons, Nina Wadia, Malcolm Ward, Derek Waring, Peter Whitman, William Wortley and Peter Yapp. The mystery man threw off his disguise and started to run. Furious stewards gave chase. The crowd roared. A legend was born. Soon the world would know him as “the ghost runner,” John Tarrant, the extraordinary man whom nobody could stop. As a hapless teenage boxer in the 1950s, he’d been paid a small sum in expenses. When he wanted to run, he was banned for life. His amateur status had been compromised. Forever. Now he was fighting back, gate-crashing races all over Britain. No number on his shirt. No friends in high places. Soon he would be a record-breaker, one of the greatest long-distance runners the world had ever seen. Do you enjoy the variety on Oldtuberadio?
