Quote... Unquote: A Celebration
As Quote鈥� Unquote ends its magnificent run, host Nigel Rees presents a compilation of some of the most memorable quotes from over 500 episodes.
大象传媒 Radio 4 Extra marks the end of an era for the long-running literary panel game, Quote鈥� Unquote.
Quote鈥� Unquote was devised by Nigel Rees, who chaired every one of its 500 episodes. Becoming a 57 series staple on the airwaves since January 1976, its aim was to reflect all aspects of the English language and the humour derived from it. Deliberate or otherwise.
Hundreds of guests appeared in the show鈥檚 45-year history, including Tom Stoppard, Kenneth Williams and Neil Ninnock. The actor William Franklyn read the quotes and extracts until his death in 2006. From that point, familiar Radio 4 continuity and news readers took over the role, the most recent being Charlotte Green.
