Spanish Gold By George Birmingham Adapted by Alan England When the Rev Meldon teams up with an English major to uncover the long-lost treasure from a Spanish galleon wrecked in Irish waters, they have more than just the cunning native population to contend with ...     J.J. Meldon: Kieran Cunningham Major Kent: Stuart Richman Higginbothan: Chris Wilkinson Sir Giles Buckley: Michael Irving Eusby Langton: Neville Barber Eustace Willoughby: Christopher Kent Thomas O'Flaherty Pat: Sean Barrett Mary Kate: Fenella Norman Fr Mulcrone: Richard Tate Saturday-Night Theatre Sat 7th Jul 1990, 19:45 on BBC Radio 4 FM Director Dave Sheasby A classic romantic drama full of action and adventure. Spanish Gold (1908) established his popularity by him, with his central figure, the Reverend JJ Meldon, a curate of unusual boldness and eloquence. The reading public welcomed this new sort of humorous novel, and Hannay responded by writing a 'George Birmingham' novel almost every year. This, the wittiest novel for many years, is the author's finest work. It is a typically Irish story—pure, undiluted humor from beginning to end.
