In this week's episode, David Callister talks to Walter Clarke about his work in the late 1940's recording the last native Manx speakers. Walter explains the challenges of working with an American tape recorder and an unreliable electricity supply - but nevertheless managing to collect some wonderful stories of Island life - including various different explanations of encounters with the Little People!
John Kennaugh, Eddie Leece and Callin Hudson share stories of when the church was not just a place of worship but also a social centre, and David Callister needs all his skills as an interviewer to keep Grenaby Farmers George Garrett and Howard Jones under control!
And have you guessed the mystery voice yet?
His identity will be revealed next week - in the last edition in the present series of The Archive Room (which will be about Hollantide, with Harvey Briggs and Dr Fenella Bazin)
