Welcome to the VO-BB, Peter. Very nice tale you told.
I'd like to follow in my own son's footsteps.
Well, at least when he talks about having "disposable" income.

Welcome Peter, from another newcomer (and another Peter)! The folks around here are quite friendly and helpful. I'm a big fan of the BBC's online streams as well, though my tastes run to comedy and panel shows -- I never miss "I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue" or "Just a Minute" and I'm thrilled they were recently able to piece together the missing episodes from Series 1 of "I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again."

Thanks to all for the continuing greetings.
Peter... you look far too young for that sort of thing! I always liked the "Cambridge Footlights" genre of panel games ... I remember listening to the first runs of ISIRTA back in 64/65 (yes, I am that old) ... and just like Angus Prune, I used to sit in my bath, and have a good laugh 
As far as ISIHAC is concerned... quick game of Mornington Crescent anyone?

Highly Recommended:
Not sure if it would be considered a radio play, but it is a radio experience: Garrison Keillor's 'A Prairie Home Companion,' on many PBS stations. It's storytelling, funny skits, great music... a wonderful way to spend some quality time.
From the site's 'About' page:
| Quote: | If you showed up on July 6, 1974, at the Janet Wallace Auditorium at Macalester College in Saint Paul and plunked down your $1 admission (50 cents for kids) to attend the very first broadcast of A Prairie Home Companion, you were in select company. There were about 12 people in the audience. But those in attendance thought there were worse ways to spend a Saturday afternoon, so Garrison Keillor and the APHC team went on to produce close to 500 live shows in the first 10 years alone. There were broadcasts from this venue and that, until March 4, 1978, when the show moved to The World Theater, a lovely, crumbling building that was one plaster crack away from the wrecking ball. (Now fully renovated and renamed The Fitzgerald, it is the show's home base.)
In June of 1987, APHC ended for a while. Garrison thought it was a good idea at the time, but only two years later, the show was back, based in New York and called American Radio Company of the Air. But there's no place like home. So in 1992, it was back to Minnesota and, soon after, back to the old name: A Prairie Home Companion.
There has been plenty of adventure in the past 30-plus years — broadcasts from Canada, Ireland, Scotland, England, Germany, Iceland and almost every one of the 50 states; wonderful performers, little-known and world-renowned; standing ovations and stares of bewilderment. We've missed planes, coped with lost luggage, dodged swooping bats and hungry mosquitoes, plodded through blizzards, and flown by the seat of our pants.
Today, A Prairie Home Companion is heard by more than 4 million listeners each week on some 590 public radio stations, and abroad on America One and the Armed Forces Networks in Europe and the Far East. Garrison recalls, "When the show started, it was something funny to do with my friends, and then it became an achievement that I hoped would be successful, and now it's a good way of life." |

Greetins, Peter, and welcome to the fun house! You may want to check your noise gate settings because we can get loud.
