Quick, turn on Radio 4!

Like Phoenix I would rather give up my TV than my radio.I have radio4 on whenever I'm in the kitchen and a small digital radio in my bedroom.
3 yrs ago I treated myself to a Bose basic sound system.expensive but have never regretted it .The sound quality is great and it takes up so little space

I often listen to radio on my digital TV, because it gives the title and artist of any music played. If I try to listen out for this information on the radio I always miss it!
I love David A's voice. Today I saw a trailer for BBC nature programmes, to which he recited the words of a song ('What a wonderful World' I think but not sure), he did it beautifully!

Phoenix, my sources these days are TV news and the internet. We had a radio since the year dot, until a few years ago, when the last music centre gave up the ghost. I wouldn`t be able to listen anymore anyway, because hubby and daughter are telly addicts, it`s hardly ever off!
And, returning to the actual topic, I used to love Desert Island Discs, especially the theme tune, By the Sleepy Lagoon.

The trailer for it mentioned islands! He could read out the telephone directory and I would still love it.

Greatnan Islands??

Numberplease I could easily live without a television, but not without a radio! Please let us know you main source of world info. (If you know what I mean)

Don`t have a radio anymore, sadly.

It's the 4th time he's been on.....listened to it this morning.

Think it is the 3rd time David has been on the programme ...will catch-up with it Friday morning.

I remember listening to it after the 1 o'clock news when I came home from school for lunch. That was in the days of the late Roy Plomley, though not quite 70 years ago.

I think it is the 70th birthday of the programme.

Done!
