#MustListen! ๐ง This week's In Our Time is an absolute cracker on Thomas Middleton. Fascinating information & insight from Michelle O'Callaghan, Lucy Munro & Emma Smith. For all fans of Early Modern Drama and #Shakespeare - or just great discussion bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0โฆ

After nearly 80 years, drama on BBC Radio 3 ends tonight. Perhaps the commissioner is as sad as the listeners, having scheduled an elegy as the final play - a work to mourn a loss. I hope at least the #DramaOn3 archive will remain on BBC Sounds #RadioDrama bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00โฆ


Just because the battle to keep #DramaOn3 has been lost, it doesn't mean we should stop fighting for #AudioDrama on the #BBC. It's been heavily cut over recent years - don't let anything more go! #SADatTheBBC The Writers' Guild Equity The Society of Authors change.org/p/save-audio-dโฆ




Good luck, Julie! Have fun! I mainly spoke to Julie 'down the line' when she was doing the weather on BBC Suffolk. Always a delight. Such a lovely lady. The farewell report tonight included her BBC Children in Need performance at Spa Pavilion which I helped stage manage. She was magic โจ

If you're wondering what to fill your Sunday evenings with now that #DramaOn3 is no more, then take heart from the fact that - at the moment, at least - a back catalogue of more than 100 plays is still available: bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00โฆ #RadioDrama #AudioDrama BBC Radio 3
