Judt noticed this - forgive me if it's already been posted but too good to miss!

The next programme will be on:
Saturday 19 January 2008 20:00
Malcolm Taylor, the English Folk Dance and Song Society's librarian, follows archivist Doc Rowe as he records and films annual events in the calendar of British folk culture.

Same Time, Same Place, Next Year

It's a repeat. Malcolm's been elevated to Library Director since it first went out.

Yes but it's on BBC Radio 4, not the BBC 4 digital channel. I recorded it same time same place last year.

My link goes to R4, Listen Live then the replayer for seven days.
BBC4, nah, haven't got it.
Won't have it till the analogue signal fades off finally to wherever they go.
As a hospital consultant was saying to me yesterday to try and explain the loss of my notes: "All these electrifying foxgloves [I think she mean digitisation] . . . It's all Tony Blair's fault you know . . . "

Well I didn't see this thread and dashed up here to give up a heads up but Emma beat me to it. Wasn't it a great programme? We should give serious thought to where all that stuff should go though, surely if enough people campaigned we could get a place for a Doc Rowe archive?
