Programming note: I'll be back this evening, Friday, with the conclusion of our eighth-birthday Tale for Our Time, Three Men on the Bummel by Jerome K Jerome.

Programming note: On Saturday, please join me for a rather Victorian episode of our Serenade Radio weekend music show, On the Town. The fun starts at 5pm British Summer Time - which is 6pm in Western Europe and 12 noon North American Eastern. You can listen from almost anywhere on the planet by clicking the button at top right here. ~Welcome to the conclusion of our eighth-birthday Tale for Our Time: Three Men on the Bummel by Jerome K Jerome. Many listeners will miss this caper, and indeed would wish for a JKJ serialisation every month. Our final episode contains some insights into the German character, written in 1900, that prefigure the half-century to come: Individualism makes no appeal to the German voter. He is willing, nay, anxious, ...
