Counterpoint - Radio 4

[bertie]

Can anyone help please. I have listened to this prog for years and am enjoying the latest series which - on Monday - reached programme 3 of 13. It is broadcast

on Monday lunchtime and repeated, I think, on Saturday evening. Next week's Radio Times does not, however, list any Monday lunchtime show and it appears that The World at One has been extended to an hour each day 'cos of the ***** election. No announcement was made at the end of Monday's prog - does anyone know what's happening?

What's happening is, as you surmise, the election. The BBC seems to think that people would be more interested in an extra half hour of waffle rather than such a skillful quiz. Their web site agrees with what it said in the Radio Times. It'll be broadcast on Saturday but not on Monday.



If you miss the Saturday broadcast you can listen to it online at the link above.



It is a great quiz. I'm always impressed by the range of their knowledge
