Slashdot Mirror

It's too late to Listen Again to it, but earlier in the year there was a BBC Radio 4 documentary called "Where's The Femur?" (http://www.radiolistings.co.uk/programmes/where_s_the_femur_.html) which was about how new doctors in the UK are getting less training and experience, the title coming from something actually said to a patient.

The full series of 6x30 minute episodes will be released on CD November 8th. Many of the recent BBC releases have had additional material, or slightly longer scenes, so still worth getting if you enjoyed the broadcast. My page about the programme - http://www.radiolistings.co.uk/programmes/dirk_gently_s_detective_agency.html will soon have better cast lists, and links on it.

First of all check my page for The Goon Show, http://www.radiolistings.co.uk/programmes/goon_show__the.html, which will give you a good idea of what still exists, then if you have any missing ones contact the BBC about them, via their treasure Hunt page, http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/treasurehunt/, or http://www.missing-episodes.com/ to see if copies are known to exist which the BBC doesn't want.

Elements of it were taken from "Shada", a Dr Who series which was never made for the TV due to industrial action, but many years later an audio version was made, available from Big Finish, and often broadcast on BBC7 - my page at http://www.radiolistings.co.uk/programmes/shada.html gives the dates when it was last on.

There was a radio documentary about them in 2006 - my page about the programme, http://www.radiolistings.co.uk/programmes/invasion _of_the_yellow_ducks.html/, has a link to the "Listen Again" where you may be able to hear it (the BBC sometimes keeps the old factual programmes available).

Though Little Britain did have a couple of radio series (http://www.radiolistings.co.uk/programmes/little_ britain.html) before moving to TV.

Though Shada did finally get made, based on the original script - BBC7 have just finished a broadcast and going by the dates I've got at http://www.radiolistings.co.uk/programmes/doctor_w ho___shada.html, it'll probably be on again by the end of the year.

So far on BBC7 there's been: Invaders From Mars, Regeneration, Shada, Slipback, Storm Warning, Sword Of Orion, The Chimes Of Midnight, The Ghosts Of N-Space, The Partadise Of Death, and The Stones Of Venice.

They're mainly the Big Finish versions (http://www.bigfinish.com/drwho/index.shtml/), though the early BBC radio stories get an airing as well.

Rather than give a lot of links to my site, try the D index (http://www.radiolistings.co.uk/programmes/Index-D .html) and scroll down to where the Doctor Who episodes are listed.

Although the catalogue is a great source of data it needs interpretation, and that's where sites like mine - http://www.radiolistings.co.uk/ - come in.

I take the data the BBC (and other stations) list, edit it it for readability, and include things like series and episode numbers - things that are essential for any collectors.

Yes, this is a blatent plug for my site.

I've been using ClustrMaps to show a map of the world highlighting where visitors to my site (RadioListings) are coming from. Easy to use and a simple bit of eye candy.
