10th February
Writer Marian Keyes was our special guest and Matt Harvey was the poet.
Jonathan Kaplan talked about being a war surgeon. Maggie Robin told us what it was like living with a bear. Karen Thomas used to go sleepwalking, naked. Val Swanick wants to see more public loos. And John Humphrys picked his Inheritance Tracks.
Update:
Listen again to this edition of Saturday Live (10 February 2007).
There was an article in the Daily Telegraph (Saturday 10 February 2007) written by Gillian Reynolds on Radio 4. In common with Gillian, I am a devoted Radio 4 listener. I am also, like Gillian, (I'm not really a sad individual, honest) an Archers fan and post regularly on the Archers Message Boards. Where I disagree with Gillian is with respect to Saturday Live. She writes, "I could never abide Home Truths,even though I liked John Peel. Many of you (Radio 4 listeners) loved it. What we seem to agree on is that Fi Glover as the Home Truths replacement, Saturday Live, is ghastly." I wish not to be counted in the "we". I like the programme and (have to whisper this in case my wife over hears) I adore Fi Glover. I find her style appealing. A mixture of intelligence and a healthy disrepect for pompous authority together with a sense of fun. Fi, don't take any notice of Gillian Reynolds. She just doesn't understand and is likely jealous of your good looks, wit and sense of fun. If you need a shoulder to lean on, let me know :-) I will keep it free for you. Just have to distract my wife with Matt Harvey. She loved his poetry and would be easily distracted by him!
In advance, Happy Valentine's Fi.
