A Day in the Life of Radio 4
4 Extra Debut. A playful romp through a day in the life of Radio 4 - from Farming to Sailing By. With Russell Davies. From 1983.
**** This light-hearted programme was suggested by Edward Jenner as part of 大象传媒 Radio 4 Extra鈥檚 All Request Weekend ****
A fairly typical day for the 大象传媒's national speech network - just over 40 years ago...
Ken Ford falls through the platform in Gardeners' Question Time; Samuel Beckett is the birthday guest on Midweek and the dodo makes a rare appearance in Wildlife.
What's more it all happens in 40 minutes.
Written by Russell Davies.
With:
Russell Davies
Chris Emmett
Sally Grace
Sheila Steafel
Eugene Fraser
Producer: David Perry
First broadcast on 大象传媒 Radio 4 in September 1983.
