I'm annoyed this is on at 9am on a Monday morning when I'm working and can't listen to it. Not working today so fortunate to hear it and SF was wonderful as usual. Hope they put it out on an MP3 podcast rather than the BBC's infernal 'listen again' system.

Thanks for the heads up Aperitif!!

*New BBCi player is a load of ol' sh*te IMO*

It was most interesting...

 

[Melvil]

Fry was excellent, as always (and even better in person - I saw him when he was promoting his book on poetry) but the other guy bored me rigid, I'm afraid!

 

[Kirstie]

I LOVED listening to that yesterday...it was brilliant!

Seems to be the same sort of thing as Word Of Mouth. I'm not a great fan of Fry, but it was quite interesting, especially how language is made up of dead metaphors.
