Things I love: BBC Radio

Ptemple

The BBC has converted me wholeheartedly to radio dramas.  Especially crime serials.  Garrison Keillor was perhaps the gateway drug that led me to appreciate the format, which I find superior to television in that knitting does not keep you from following the plot, and the special effects are much more convincing.  My favourite by far is Paul Temple, a series that started in 1938 and has aged beautifully.  And better yet, the radio section of the iPlayer is available in the US!  So you have no excuse.  Go listen to the first episode of Paul Temple and the Geneva Mystery right now.  But be warned; you'll get hooked.
