The Penny Dreadfuls Present: Hereward the Wake

From the team who brought Radio 4 the story of Guy Fawkes and the French Revolution, The Penny Dreadfuls now turn their comic eye towards Hereward The Wake. Why has this Englishman responsible for leading the fight against the occupation of William The Conqueror, been so readily forgotten? The story didn't end when they ran out of embroidery cotton on the Bayeux Tapestry. Our mission is to make sure that from now on, you will know his name.Starring Thom Tuck as Hereward The Wake, and Humphrey Ker as William The Conqueror and other characters. Broadcasts on 26th December at 14.15 on BBC Radio 4.
