And a jolly good listen it was too.

Excellent programme - especially the 'Caruso' episode. Thanks for the heads
up!

Are you aware that Gaisberg was and still is (after a fashion) a neighbour
of yours?

From the Wiki:

"Gaisberg retained his American citizenship to the end, and was a life-long
bachelor.[2] He died at his home in Hampstead in 1951 at age 78 and was
buried in Hampstead Cemetery in West Hampstead."

(Take him a little bunch of flowers, why don'tcha? :-)

Bloody hell - not five minutes walk from here. I shall pay a visit
tomorrow. And he was actually a contemporary of mine, if only briefly.

I recorded it from 'listen again' so I can have a sit-and-listen later
today. One thing has made me curious. I think the Radio Times listed it as
3:00 to 3:45 - i.e. 45 mins long. But the iPlayer version seemed to be
about 57 mins long - i.e. nominally 1 hour. Is the iPlayer version actually
longer than the live broadcast?

Slainte,

Jim

The programme as broadcast is certainly 45 minutes. But radio progs on
iPlayer typically include the last half hour (it seems like) of the
previous programme, so who knows. Funny that they manage to trim the
TV programmes accurately and add a one second station ID at the front.
I wonder why they can't do that for radio.

I did what Jim did, and recorded it off "listen again". But I then edited
off the "heads and tails" and I'm left with a programme that runs for 57
minutes and two seconds. So perhaps the listen-again version is longer?
