Time passes

A good call by Radio 4 Extra: getting the subversive Eddie Mair to present a re-run of selected episodes of On The Hour, starting today.   The Chris Morris/Armando Ianucci anarchic parody of news style-over-substance should still sparkle twenty years on - one suspects the re-runs are selected because some are too strong for today's even more pc times.

Mind you, the passing of time has other impacts. Left, Eddie pictured by Radio 4 Extra ready to record his introductory show; right the image Radio 4 currently uses for the newsmeister.
