This is a fabulous listen 📻
Mollie was a pioneer of comedy writing - and she's still going strong. No longer a 'holy ghost writer' - but still writing sharp quips for friends and family at the age of 90!
Her story should be much more widely known #Herstory #BeyondOurKen #BBCRadio4Extra

A Magician Amongst the Spirits by Bert Coules - BBC Sounds Harry Houdini's ascent to a world famous escapologist - and a corroding obsession...

This drama was so good. I actually heard it 1st time around, in 1982, and have never forgotten it. So glad that #bbcradio4extra broadcast it again. Written by Bert Coules, who’s penned the #BBC radio Sherlock Holmes adaptations. #Houdini

Possibly my favourite #CharlesParis series is on #BBCRadio4Extra at the moment - The Cinderella Killer.
If you like a reference to #Shakespeare and his contemporaries you'll enjoy this snippet where Charles' agent tells him he's been offered a part in a verse drama 📻🎭

I don’t understand why old dramas are unavailable on #bbcradio4extra today: a Mrs Sidhu, and two Miss Marples, one of which: The Perfect Maid, was available earlier and now greyed out. Keeps happening.

Was thinking this morning that I have almost forgotten about the existence of #BBCRadio4Extra - must try to get back into it again; it would be useful for early morning listening

I love #CharlesParis but before his arrival on #BBCRadio4 there was George Cragge.
One of my favourite comedy/detective dramas #InTheRed has just started a repeat run on #BBCRadio4Extra
Based on Mark Taverner's novel, it has a fantastic cast... And this little section almost made me spit out my tea!

Original post on cupoftea.social

I've been listening to an excellent programme on #bbcradio4extra about National Service in the UK and the experience of those involved.
It's not the sort of documentary I'd normally choose to listen to be I think it should be compulsory listening for any idiots who propose bringing conscription […]

And no computer AI generated playlists. In an age where British radio presenters have taken the word "bland" to a level unheard of in history what a joy these programmes have been. #BBCRadio4Extra

Twas ever thus.

The 1991 Little Blighty Christmas Special has a sketch about the Parish Newspaper installing a computer to produce news stories, the journalists are sacked and the computer hallucinates.

When satire bit with wit.

Absent Friends - my annual round up of the heroes of UK science-fiction who left us this year - will be on Radio 4 Extra at 4.45pm on Dec 29th (repeated 12.45am and on BBC Sounds thereafter). It’s heartening that they continue to allow me to perform this sad duty. #bbcradio4extra

Listening to The Glums on #bbcradio4extra. Humour surprisingly sardonic and sharp considering it was made in the 1950s.
