Tom Glenister and Ellie Haddington bring us readings reflecting on what a night out looks like in the working men’s club depicted in Alan Sillitoe’s first novel Saturday Night and Sunday Morning and a description of a Sunday stroll after visiting the Pump Room in Bath in a Jane Austen novel. We hear about the animals assembling on a Sunday to receive their orders in George Orwell's Animal Farm and about the loneliness of a student listening to Miles Davis conjured in Caleb Azumah Nelson's novel Small Worlds. Other music includes Mendelssohn, Handel, and Elton John.
