It must cost Bowman’s Sunday thousands of listeners, one of the best shows on the radio but you’d have to remember to tune back in after that dose you mentioned was over, just caught the end of William Trevor there and now they’re playing ‘de Banks’

Did any of you free staters betray your birthright and listen to the late great Gerry Anderson on radio ulster? It was unscripted, hilarious, ill-mannered, witty banter. It was so good some of the conversations were later animated for TV. The best were probably too close to the line to broadcast a second time…

Are you sure?
I’d also have to say No.
I do however recall ads on BBC WS for his “Anderson On The Box” and “Anderson On The Road” television shows.
I never watched either.

Was a grand harmless show lot worse than it out there
Fair enough, I thought it was painful to listen to.
Discovered this Irish online station at the weekend, have it in the kitchen using the Tunein app. Loving it today, the website is awful, but it’s streaming great obscure ‘80s tunes bringing me back to a fun decade @balbec might like this…

I was out in the car there earlier listening to John Kelly. It was a magnificent show. I often imagine I could do what he does but I know in my heart that I couldn’t. There was a segment between 8 and 830 where he played French music that was just bliss.

The arts show on Radio 1 last night had a great piece to make the 200th anniversary of the birth of Emily Bronte. A Trinity College Dublin professor reckoned her only novel Wuthering Heights was in top 5 novels of all time.
