with Michael Bryant

 
 
0833 Far Out the Long Canal: part one 04:40pm-04:55pm Monday, 10th November 1969
  Moonta wanted to be able to skate more than anything in the world. But there was no ice rinks where he lived – right in the North of Holland. Everyone learned on the canals where they froze in the winter. They hadn’t frozen for four years now and Moonta was getting impatient. But when the ice did come it brought more excitement than he ever expected.
