The first is already available to listen to as I type (and they&#8217;ll stay available, which is fabulous).<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve not yet heard it, but I will be listening to Radio 4&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/iplayer\/episode\/b00phzvx\/Saturday_Play_Private_Lives\/\">Saturday Play: Private Lives by Noel Coward<\/a>. It&#8217;s got Bill Nighy in it after all &#8211; and Helena Bonham Carter!<br \/>\nAnd Thursday&#8217;s Afternoon Play &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/programmes\/b00pl1gx\">The Killing of TSR2<\/a> &#8211; sounds up my street. It&#8217;s the British fighter that never was.<br \/>\nIn comedy, there&#8217;s the last episode of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/programmes\/b007rdqh\">Giles Wemmbley-Hogg Goes Off<\/a>, and a new series of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/programmes\/b006s5dp\">Just A Minute<\/a>.<br \/>\nThere&#8217;s a new series of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/programmes\/b00pnt6h\">Jon Ronson On<\/a> starting tomorrow evening at 11.00pm which as far as I can tell from the Radio 4 trailer, seems to feature all the people I follow on Twitter as well as <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/jonRonson\">Ronson himself<\/a> (<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/Victoriacoren\">Victoria Coren<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/CharltonBrooker\">Charlie Brooker<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/GLINNER\">Graham Linehan<\/a>).<br \/>\nBBC 7 has another Doctor Syn book being read fantastically by Rufus Sewell that started today &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/programmes\/b00pqk9m\">The Last of Doctor Syn<\/a>.<br \/>\nFinally &#8211; and this is a bit late and useless to you &#8211; but Saturday saw BBC 7 broadcast the final episode of series 3 of Ben Moor&#8217;s science fiction comedy <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/programmes\/b00dzp17\">Undone<\/a>. I really enjoyed this, but at least with series catch-up, you can still hear all six episodes from this series on the iPlayer. But you might want to wait for the next repeat of the first series.<br \/>\nI was sorry to hear that Clive James has called an end to his A Point of Views now. He&#8217;s writing another book and that&#8217;s going to fully engage him.<br \/>\nAnd I feel that if Ed Reardon&#8217;s Week was coming back for another series, it&#8217;d have been on-air now. If anyone knows, I&#8217;d love to hear from you.<br \/>\nSo little time, but so much radio to listen to, and that doesn&#8217;t even include my day job!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There&#8217;s a few interesting things on TV just at the moment, but I&#8217;m going to concentrate on radio.
