Looking back, he recalls his arrival as a shy, nervous novice; how he won the respect and adoration of his pupils; and how he found – and lost – his one great love, the beautiful, kind-hearted Kathie. Spanning over 60 years, from the Franco-Prussian War to the rise of Hitler, this is a touching, nostalgic tale of a life well-lived.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eText copyright James Hilton 1933 (\u003ci\u003eLost Horizon\u003c\/i\u003e), 1934 (\u003ci\u003eGoodbye, Mr Chips\u003c\/i\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eCast and credits\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWritten by James Hilton\u003cbr\u003eProduced by Graham Gauld\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eLost Horizon\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHugh Conway – \u003cb\u003eDerek Jacobi\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMallinson – \u003cb\u003eAndrew Branch\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBarnard – \u003cb\u003eAlan Tilvern\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMiss Brinklow – \u003cb\u003eCarol Marsh\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRutherford – \u003cb\u003eJohn Livesey\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWyland – \u003cb\u003eSion Probert\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHilton – \u003cb\u003eAlaric Cotter\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSanders – \u003cb\u003eGary Cady\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDoctor – \u003cb\u003eJohn Bull\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChang – \u003cb\u003eGarard Green\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHigh Lama – \u003cb\u003eAlan Wheatley\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLo-Tsen – \u003cb\u003ePik-Sen Lim\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAmerican – \u003cb\u003eCrawford Logan\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDramatised by Barry Campbell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eGoodbye Mr Chips\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMr Chipping – \u003cb\u003eJohn Church\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMrs Wickett – \u003cb\u003eKatherine Parr\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKathie – \u003cb\u003eLolly Cockerell\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDr Merivale – \u003cb\u003eLewis Stringer\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWetherby – \u003cb\u003eGodfrey Kenton\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLucy – \u003cb\u003eHilda Schroder\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRowden – \u003cb\u003eAlaric Cotter\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBarker – \u003cb\u003eJohn Bott\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhitby – \u003cb\u003eJohn McAndrew\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMeldrum – \u003cb\u003eJohn Forbes-Robertson\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBryce – \u003cb\u003eHaydn Wood\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrookfield boys – \u003cb\u003eAdrian Breeze, Matthew Emerson, Ian Land, Adam Bass \u0026amp; Adam Landor\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMission boys – \u003cb\u003ePaul Beardshaw, Colin McDonagh \u0026amp; Stuart Sampson\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSutton – \u003cb\u003eGordon Reid\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRalston – \u003cb\u003eNigel Anthon\u003c\/b\u003ey\u003cbr\u003eChatteris – \u003cb\u003eWalter Hall\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStaefel – \u003cb\u003eGraham Faulkner\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWilliams – \u003cb\u003eChristopher Scott\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWadham – \u003cb\u003eHarold Reese\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDeakin – \u003cb\u003eJohn Gray\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMidwife – \u003cb\u003eSonia Fraser\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLinford – \u003cb\u003eArthur Haycraft\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDramatised by Margaret Simpson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e© 2025 BBC Studios Distribution Ltd.
