Amazon.co.uk: Dad's Army: Vol 4 (BBC Radio Collection): Books: Jimmy Perry,David Croft,Harold Snoad,Michael ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30) When the BBC decided, in 1973, to adapt Dad's Army for radio, the wholesale destruction of the television archives had not yet begun, and film or videotape copies of all four of these episodes still existed there. The radio versions of the two episodes were thus all that survived, and both were included in this tape release because the film prints were "missing", so the episodes couldn't be released on video. Notwithstanding that the BBC has chosen to number this box of tapes as Volume 2, these four shows are in fact the radio adaptations of the very first four episodes of the television programme, which began in 1968 with the episode "The Man and the Hour". www.amazon.co.uk /Dads-Army-BBC-Radio-Collection/dp/0563394404   (2268 words)

BBC Radio Farce On March 18, BBC Radio 4's 'Today' show produced a session on a topic central to HonestReporting's campaign for fair media description of Palestinian terrorism: 'What's the difference between a terrorist and a freedom fighter?' Yet in the face of well-documented anti-Israel media bias, BBC Radio chooses to expose itself to the likes of Greg Philo, leaving the listener thinking that, if anything, BBC has been remiss and needs to be more sympathetic to Palestinians in its coverage. After all, BBC's own new 'Mideast policeman' acknowledges that his role is to question if the BBC is 'systemically biased.' The BBC's latest charade makes the answer to that question painfully clear. honestreporting.com /articles/45884734/critiques/BBC_Radio_Farce.asp   (625 words)

Notes on BBC Radio 4 program Scars of Evolution by David Attenborough broadcast 12 April 2005 Attenborough starts off his introduction by talking about long distance swimmers, whose feats are certainly remarkable, but he does somehow neglect to point out that these are highly trained athletes who perform feats that ordinary humans do not, and cannot, do. Richards points out that a "key thing of a good scientific theory that it does this linking job on a lot of phenomena that were hitherto thought to be totally unrelated", but somehow neglects the equally important part, that those links and phenomena and facts and figures really need to be accurate instead of false. Attenborough goes on to say that in her other 4 books she started "providing notes, referencing every citation" which is very nearly true for her last book on the subject, and she did better on her 1990 book. www.aquaticape.org /bbc4_notes.html   (6353 words)
