Friday was World Radio Day, or Wireless as it was once called. I remember listening to  Lord of the Rings on a Sunday lunch time as  a boy. Wonderful...so evocative and one got to use one's imagination. Comedy panel games, so witty and sharp, the successful programs were put on the TV, but were never the same. The comfort of the radio is not lost nor diminished by time. The hypnotic BBC Shipping forecast, just in case one ended up one day in the North Sea. Radio, with you, a comfort, not taking over the room like the goggle box.
