Ray 'Creepy' Crawley, veteran operator with the Australian Federal Security Agency,
is sent to Cochin in the State of Kerala,

Cochin is also a major base for the Indian Navy, and Dave Halpin, one of Crawley's old workmates,

UNDERWORLD: By Lian Tanner
Broadcast: Sunday 27 January 2002 3:05PM
Underworld is a new radio play that really does have you reading between the lines!
A young woman, Claire, is bemoaning the lack of love and romance in her life.
An old woman, Marj, is suffering the loss of it following the death of her husband.
When the two women meet, in the most unusual of circumstances,
the result is a clever and humorous story in which the ancient Greek myth of Persephone in the Underworld
collides with Mills and Boon-style romance fiction of the most syrupy variety.
Lian Tanner is a Tasmanian writer. She developed the script of Underworld with guidance
from respected playwright Alma de Groen as part of the Australian Writers' Guild/ABC Radio Drama mentorship scheme.
Claire: Daniela Farinacci
Marj: Joy Mitchell
Graham: Ben Grant

Book Title: The wayward tourist: Mark Twain's adventures in Australia
Publisher: Melbourne University Publishing
Mark Twain, one of the world's most acclaimed writers,
was at the height of his fame in the last decade of the nineteenth century,
but had fallen on hard times financially.
In 1895 he embarked on a lecture tour of five continents which was to bring him to Australia.
He observes the geography, the society, the culture and the politics with a curious and mostly benign eye
which gives a fascinating insight into Australia at that time, as well as into the mind of Mark Twain.
Supporting Information (6 eps)
Mark Twain (1835-1910) remains one of America's most loved authors and humorists,
with his keen wit and incisive satire. During his life he was in much demand as a public speaker.
Reader: Peter Hosking
