I listen when I can. However, our digital reception is so bad down here at the pointy bit, that I can only listen through the tv in the sitting room - not very convenient  |

I listen to radio 4 extra for the dramas. They had The Woman in Black a few weeks ago. It was brilliant. I'm looking forward to seeing it on stage or film now.

Did you say Auricula you had seen the TV series of Mapp and Lucia  I now have from amazon a 3-CD set and love them - the wardrobe dept went to town for the costumes I particularly love Mr Goergie's pale blue waistcoat with matching pale blue gloves and pocket hankey and he has the same ensemble in pale lemon and lavender too Oddly Lucia says "ickle" rather a lot too  |

2 series, 5 episodes in each. One ickle point... there were /are 6 novels but only the last 3 contain both M and L nd it is those the tv series is based on. Nigel Hawthorne stole the show for me ;D Glad you're enjoying them Jenny

On Thursday I listened to a cute little play from the "Haunted" section "Mists of Memory" and was trying hard to work out who the actress was playing the lead of the little girl as she seemed familiar Upon checking found out it was Helen Worth (aka Gail Platt) and am now trying to find out if this was recorded when Helen WAS a little girl or recently - she was very authentic if so enjoyed it enormously |
