Currently listening to Book at Bedtime : as the tag line says - a tale of love, betrayal and espionage. Set just after the war ; rather good.
Great Radio Programmes

Nice one mate! I'm currently backed up listening to all the Horror/ghost stories in drama on Radio 4 iplayer. Love them, especially around Christmas when MR James is on.

Currently reading at the moment an anthology of ghost stories. Some crackers, and includes authors you don't usually associate with the genre : Graham Greene, Dylan Thomas and Muriel Spark. Also an author called Elizabeth Bowen who is fantastic in evoking the seediness, greyness and the depressing nature of war torn Britain.

Donald Duck gets drafted : Half an hour documentary on the activities of Walt Disney Productions during WW 2. Narrated by Gerald Scarfe and on the I Player.
Not exactly a programme, but Peter Cook's pseudonymic "Sven from Swiss Cottage" calls to Clive Bull's LBC show are some of my favourite comedy of all time:

I found this Tim Key archive for anyone who likes that kind of thing.
It was on radio 4 earlier this year.

The Power of Political Forgetting ( Archive on 4, on the IPlayer)
A fascinating programme discussing the importance of memory in political attitudes and thinking. Amongst the examples were the importance of unemployment in the thirties ; the nuclear threat of Armageddon and the Labour leadership contest : whether harping on about 'the damage to the Labour party in the 1980's due to it's left wing policies' has any resonance with people who have no memory of that time. Highly recommended.

Radio 4 tomorrow 2.30.
An adaption of The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury. If it's good as the book should be interesting - although the blurb says a 'reamagining'.Will be on the IPlayer.

Just got three cd set of the old RTHs, despite what has already been said Kenneth Horne's voice was incredible full of power and clarity. I'm just chuckling to 'my names Jules and this is my friend Sandy' as they say they don't make them like that now mores the pity.
The Navy Lark, brilliance personified, Tony Hancock legend and even today's Count Arthur Brown which is Harry Worth reborn
