Two forgotten Harold Pinter screenplays, which were never made into films, have been re-made as radio plays by the BBC.
The first is based on a Joseph Conrad novel called Victory written in 1982.
It will be broadcast by Radio 4 on Sunday followed by another work, The Dreaming Child, next Saturday.
The network's commissioner, Jeremy Howe, described the screenings as being both "utterly different" and a "treat for listeners".
