麻豆约拍

Part of 麻豆约拍 Radio 4 Extra's tribute to the remarkable talent of writer and producer Charles Chilton, who died on 2 January 2013 at the age of 95.

Influenced by his time working with Alistair Cooke, Chilton decided to specialise in American history. Adapted from his 'Out of the Wilderness' broadcast from 1965, the programme features the history and songs of the American Civil War. This was originally a "麻豆约拍 Radiovision" programme for schools, for which pupils were able to look at accompanying sets of slides or colour filmstrips for use with a stills projector. Radiovision was an established part of 麻豆约拍 programming from 1964 to 1990.

First broadcast on 麻豆约拍 Radio 4 in 1972.
