okay "Lutchmee and Dilloo" by J. E. Jenkins

I am glad to see you was just wondering where you were and Riya too, I was going to ask for a clue if my other answer was wrong

* Congrats! You nailed it. I was waiting for one of gilbakka's smart students to give the correct answer.

* By the way, it was Edward Jenkins---Sir Gilbakka may penalize you.

Rev

will wait for Sir Gil but darn I just saw I what I did with his name., I hope he is merciful with me

Only the Lord can have mercy on you.

I can either pass or fail you.

Yuh pass.

Yes, in 1877 Edward Jenkin's book Lutchmee and Dilloo was first published.

[You should read it. Coolie cutlass and murderation ova homan in de suga estate. Luv nah sweet deh.] Kindle edition available at Amazon.com. Cheap.

I did not see the author name mentioned,like they

goof up.

Congrat's Anjali.

One more for today.

In the 1940s a Guyanese wrote and staged a play set in India on the themes of nationalism and the conflict between Indian and Western values. What's the name of that Guyanese and what's the name of the play?

You were researching like a professor here. Next time, search like a student.

Asra by Basil Balgobin

Thank you Django

That was easy, eh!

Yes, Basil Balgobin wrote Asra in 1944 and the British Guiana Dramatic Society staged it in 1945.

Congrats!!

You deserve a restful weekend. We resume Monday.

Anjali on a roll! Good job!

Good representation for all of us

Thank you Sir Gil, have a restful weekend too and see you on Monday.

Thank you Riya  it was a bit stressful but I persisted and got it right

Good morning, ladies and gents. I have a feeling this is going to be an exciting week. Think about it: this is the only thread where the past has more excitement than the present.

Let's begin. Before TV sets and The Young and the Restless, Guyanese women tuned in to their radios for their daily soap opera fix. Radio Demerara aired one such drama at 1:00PM weekdays. Name that programme.

good morning

"Tides of Susanberg" 

No. Try again.

Contestants are allowed to call their moms for the answer. As Mother's Day is coming up, you have a good excuse to call her now.

My Bones and My Flute

* Portia faces life.

* Actually that was at 10AM---you said 1PM.

Rev

A Second Spring

No. Stand aside and watch a man who used to listen to soap operas.

Look's like you nailed it.

No. Please step aside too.

Banna, you must thank the Lord your mom is alive. I suspect you consulted her.

Yes, Portia Faces Life was an American radio serial that started in 1940 and ran in the States until 1970. Radio Demerara ran it too.

Congrats!!

* Mom mentioned Portia faces life and Dr Paul.

Rev

Here's another one. Just a few months after Guyana got political independence in 1966, Radio Demerara started airing the first locally produced soap opera. Name that show and the scriptwriter.

Tides of Susanburg by Francis Q. Farrier

Congrats to you and your mom

* Muchas gracias. Mother's day is on Sunday, May 10th. I may have to get her an extra present.

Rev

Correct. Francis Quamina Farrier, a real nice gentleman who worked with me at Broadcasting House, was asked by Radio Demerara's General Manager Rafiq Khan in the early 1960s to write a local radio play. Farrier finished the project in late 1965 and it was produced on air in 1966.

Congrats!!

Thank you Sir Gil

now I have "Tides of Susanburg" on my brain  

Which radio show had these words at the start of the weekly program,the name of the show was in these words?

"....Cunningly they tried...brilliantly they commit their crimes then they're trapped by, TADAAAAAAA   The Mi...... .... ....

Gilbakka, how good is your memory of Radio Demerara?

There was a DJ at Radio Dem who started his program with these words (or something very similar) "Whether the weather is hot or whether the weather is not, we'll weather the weather, whatever the weather, whether you like it or not".

Name that DJ. Quiz expires today at 3.00 pm and is open to everyone.

Roland Phillips

* Matthew Allen or Ron Robinson. I'll have to toss a coin.

* Matthew Allen.
