The Drift of Time: A radio play about Richard Jefferies

It's amazing what you find on YouTube.

The blurb there describes this as a "radio drama from the late 1980s starring Robert Stephens".

It turns out to have been written by Seán Street, and his website says it was broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in 1986.

I have a suspicion, though, that it was broadcast the following year, the centenary of Jefferies' death, and that I listened to it at the time.
