Caerleon January 30, 2023
A misguided attempt to record on site, an ‘outside broadcast’ which degenerates into a pub crawl.

The Warminster Triangle January 5, 2021
Reg Presley, suddenly rich from the proceeds of a hit song, devotes his money and time to uncovering the secrets of the Warminster Triangle: UFOs, crop circles and the changing shape of planet Earth. Reg is voiced by Long John Silver.

Holywood, Belfast December 23, 2020
Kathleen Schlesinger, born in Holywood, Belfast, in 1862, was a music archaeologist who published a major study of the ancient Greek wind instrument, the aulos.
