By Rex Obano. We first met Hope James, Eunice Faith Isaac and Gloria de Soto as they were beginning their lives in the UK in 1946. It's now 1968 and Joy, Gloria’s daughter, has dropped out of university. She's in Birmingham, 'finding herself' in the hippy scene. There she bumps into Hopeton, her childhood admirer. He is left torn between staying faithful to his Christian calling or joining Joy for a spiritual, sexual and cultural awakening. Joy ….. Sapphire Joy Hopeton ….. Solomon Israel Philomena ….. Susan Lawson-Reynolds Doctor/Police Sergeant ….. David Hounslow Nurse ..… Joanna Monro Manager ….. Tom Kiteley Produced by Pat Cumper Directed by Anastasia Osei-Kuffour. **** Faith, Hope and Glory’ returns for its fifth series on Radio 4. We began following the lives of Hope James, Eunice Faith Isaac and Gloria de Soto in the UK in 1946. Two generations of three families, bound together by the fate of one baby lost and found on Tilbury Docks in 1946, are taking their place in the rapidly changing Britain of the late 1960s. Joy (formerly 'Baby Eunice') was the baby lost at Tilbury Docks in 1946 and found by Gloria and Clement who she believes are her parents, though she hasn't seen them for years. Now in her twenties, she still can’t shake the feeling that she is out of place and lost. Immersed in the fully blossomed drug-fuelled counterculture, she encounters many fellow travellers journeying to what they hope will be a better place.
