Radio 4, Eeyore and Falstaff
South African born Janet Suzman settled in England in 1959 at the height of apartheid and has been a resident ever since.

“BBC Radio 4 - the one overriding reason not to emigrate to warmer climes!
“Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh - combines English anthropomorphism with a suitably gloomy outlook on life – apt for these days.
“Falstaff - from [Shakespeare’s] 'Henry the IV'. The English are best at drama, great characters and drink!”
