Part 03 of 10 - The Masters Part I

3) 'The Masters - Part 1' (Sunday 2nd February 2003 , 3:00 p.m.) 
It is January 1937 and Cambridge lies muffled under a blanket of deep snow. The quad is empty and quiet while Eliot sits enjoying the fireside. He and his wife have become use to living apart - in fact they had grown comfortable with separation. Ten years previously, Lewis had started out on the difficult road to being a barrister in London. But ill health and his ill-judged marriage had pushed his career in a different direction. He is teaching in a Cambridge college when an election is called for a new Master. 

Dramatised by Jonathan Holloway from C. P. Snow's 1951 novel, "The Masters".
