Christmas Programming

  • a reminder to our blog readers

    BBC Radio 4
  • The Today team has also made an Advent Calendar, each door concealing a different piece of audio from the last 12 months, with a rather fetching turkey to illustrate the feature: http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/today/newsid_7749000/7749926.stm

    And, as every year, you listeners have responded magnificently to the Radio 4 St-Martin-in-the-Fields Christmas Appeal, so very many thanks. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00p71gw

    This week our Christmas schedule will be unwrapped, which includes some Charles Dickens’ perennial favourites beginning with The Pickwick Papers, then A Christmas Carol in Christmas week, and his ghost story The Signal Man.

    Christmas Classic comedy kicks off with two seasonal comedies which are over 50 years old, but have certainly stood the test of time: Hancock’s Bill and Father Christmas and from the Goons, The International Christmas Pudding.

    And in the Comedy Club, our seasonal offerings include Christmas Specials from The Masterson Inheritance and The Shuttleworths.(BBC 7 Newsletter)
