Re-discovering Radio
I’m becoming a big fan of BBC Radio 4 Extra — although why they renamed it from Radio 7, I don’t know.
Every Saturday morning whilst drinking my first cup of coffee, I browse through all of the available comedy programmes in the BBC iPlayer app and list those that I want listen to. Then every time I sit down to knit, on goes the iPad and in go the ear plugs.
I’m re-discovering old classics like Tony Hancock and Jimmy Clitheroe (I have a vague memory of loving “The Clitheroe Kid” on TV when I was little). And although I’d heard of “The Navy Lark”, I’d never listened to it before.
Then there are the new discoveries — like “The Museum of Everything” and my absolute favourite, “Old Harry’s Game”. Perhaps one day, I’ll actually get around to listening to some of the drama productions.
Now you’ll have to excuse me. I have some radio programmes to listen to…
