Thanks, Herga, for the memory-jog.

Walrus' reminder about current repeats on BBC7 reminds me that, due to the oversight of the BBC (forgetting to limit repeat broadcasts of shows they sold to our ABC), "The Goon Show" has been running more or less continuously in Oz since the 1950s. Currently its Radio National timeslot is also 5.30am (Saturdays; My Word and My Music are on Wednesdays and Thursdays) and we've had rebroadcasts of most of the shows Walrus and others have mentioned, along with "The Mark Steele Lectures". "Just a minute" and "Many a slip" are running at the moment on Mondays and Tuesdays; you can tell I'm usually trying to wake up around 5.30.

All useful examples of Brit humour, but (being in Oz) probably of limited use to *Laura* and her friend.

Cheers, Rowan
