Coming Up on Radio 4.....

[Nyder]

Interesting documentary on Labour's 1983 election disaster, with their manifesto being dubbed "the longest suicide note in history". There's archive interviews from Michael Foot and Denis Healy and current reflections from Neil Kinnock & Jack Straw among others. It was broadcast on Saturday night on R4 and ready for you to grab on the iPlayer!

Here's one for Hart:-

Our Libraries - The Next Chapter

Today on R4 at 11am.

[SiHart]

Thanks Dave. I'll take a listen tonight

[Nyder]

There's a Paul Magrs drama on this afternoon at 2:15 - "Imaginary Boys". It's about an alien who lands on earth to narrate 17yr old David Taylor's life. I'll try and catch up with this on the weekend!

[Nyder]

Do try and listen to Imaginary Boys if you can - it's only on the iPlayer for a few more days, and it is rather wonderful! Boy meets Boy Alien, Boy falls in love with Boy Alien. Why didn't they have this storyline in Grange Hill?

[SiHart]

It was good, but I do a bit annoyed sometimes at the way he uses and reuses ideas, so that if you're a big fan of his work, you sometimes know where the story is going because you've read/ heard the same thing done in a different range.

[Nyder]

"Crikey DM! David Jason's tribute to Cosgrove Hall."

Does what it says on the tin :-) 10:30am today, and available for the next 7 days on iPlayer

[Nyder]

It's always satisfying finding a good new comedy on R4. Tom Wrigglesworth's Hang Ups (Weds 6:30pm) is just of those finds!

It's all about the sometimes bizarre conversations you find yourself having with your parents on the phone. I certainly recognised a lot of my Dad when Tom's Dad was having a rant!

First episode is still on iPlayer - highly recommended!

[Dirk Gently]

"I told him; "that's no way to stir your tea""

[Nyder]

Hee hee. It's all the trouble over the new phone number that got me giggling!

[Nyder]

Tmw 11:30am - "Houses of Horror". Matthew Sweet looks at the rivalry between Hammer & Amicus during the 60s and 70s.

Sounds like my kind of programme!

If you missed it:

Delia Derbyshire, who arranged Doctor Who’s original theme tune, is featured in episode 2 of ‘In Their Own Words: 20th Century Composers’ which you can could have caught on BBC Four, 21 March at 8pm. Following its broadcast it will be available on BBC iPlayer for a limited period:

[Nyder]

That Hitch-Hikers prog that none of us could get tix for is being broadcast on R4 now. I'll "Listen Again" tomorrow as I'm a tad busy this morning. I'm too busy to finish typing this sente

Ahh, I wouldn't have been able to go then anyway, as I'm still at work!

[Nyder]

Radio 4 extra this afternoon and no doubt on the Iplayer for a wee while

Douglas Adams wrote Hitch-Hikers whilst playing "Wuthering Heights" in the background CONSTANTLY. It was like his mantra to prepare his mind for writing. So it looks like Ms Bush has been indirectly responsible for that work of genius. To quote the great lady herself - Wow!

"The Music Teacher" at 11pm tonight. It's only 15 mins long but very funny. Do listen or listen again if you can't catch it live. That sentence doesn't quite make sense - but you know what I mean!

Have you been drinking?

[Nyder]

Interesting drama tomorrow (and I don't mean The Archers!)

David Tenanant makes his "Just A Minute" debut tomorrow. By all accounts he's really good at it!
