Flying Sherlocks!
Ach so hat Sherlock das gemacht, einfach Mary-Poppins-Style mit einem Schirm elegant zu Boden gesegelt… Schummler!
BBC Radiostreams ohne Webbrowser hören
Das geht ganz einfach, wenn man iTunes installiert hat, alle Sender sind in iTunes’ riesiger mitgelieferter Radioauswahl vorhanden. Man muss sie nur finden in dem Wust! Drum hier eine kleine Hilfestellung, in welcher Radiokategorie sich welche Station versteckt (mit Links auf die Senderseiten):
Top 40 / Pop: BBC Radio 1 & Radio 1Xtra
Adult Contemporary: BBC Radio 2
Classical: BBC Radio 3
News / Talk Radio: BBC Radio 4 & Radio 5live
Comedy: BBC Radio 4 Extra
Alternative Rock: BBC Radio 6
Von so einem vielfältigem und vor allem hochwertigem Angebot gebührenfinanzierten Radios kann man hierzulande leider nur träumen. Umso heftiger möchte ich die BBC knutschen, die Streams ohne Umwege weltweit hörbar zu belassen!
Neil Gaiman's Neverwhere BBC Radio 4 launch report ]
Infinite budgets aside, Gaiman and Maggs are full of praise for the UK’s tradition of radio drama, and specifically the BBC’s role in continuing that tradition, “I love radio drama more than I love any other medium,” said Gaiman, “There’s a specific magic to it. When it works it’s not like anything else.”
“Then Christopher Lee said yes, and we all nearly fainted.”
On this day in 1978, the first episode of Douglas Adams’ The Hitchhikers’ Guide To The Galaxy was broadcast on Radio 4.
This picture shows Douglas Adams, Geoffrey Perkins (producer), David Tate (man of many voices), Geoffrey McGivern (Ford Prefect), Mark Wing-Davey (Zaphod Beeblebrox), Simon Jones (Arthur Dent) and Alan Ford (Roosta).
“I mean… technically, given that it was radio, Justin didn’t have to physically pick Benedict up for the ‘He’s flying!’ bit. But, well… he did.
I am helpfully holding the script for them. And I am also standing next to Prunella Scales. Oh yes.” (John Finnemore)
Die Herrschaften hängen sich ja mal wirklich rein für ihre Zuhörer :D

Uptown Girl - one of the glorious highlights of the show!
Man weiß, dass man sich einen ganz schlimmen Fanvirus eingefangen hat, wenn man trotz Ü40 zufrieden grinsend offizielle Fanfiction von Kinderbuchautoren auf seinen Reader lädt…
Und den Rest schon vorbestellt hat. Man reiche mir die Quietschetardis.
