  • A delightful show!

    Yes, the BBC’s correspondents have voices of their own and it’s a pleasure listening to them. This show gives us short, fascinating and occasionally quirky glimpses of, variously, what they think, how they live, or experiences they would like to share but which don’t constitute proper news.
