Dramarama

This from Jeremy Howe, the man who commissions plays for Radio 4.

"I am writing this a few days after the first Audio Drama Awards, which I hope you agree is an exciting departure for drama that is heard but not seen. I just wanted to let you know about a change we are putting in place on Radio 4 next month. As from February 18th we are going to re-name some of the drama slots, so that the drama in Woman's Hour (and the repeat broadcast after Front Row) becomes 15 Minute Drama, Afternoon Play becomes Afternoon Drama, Saturday Play becomes Saturday Drama and Friday Play becomes Friday Drama. 


Not rocket science, I know, and there will be no difference to what you are hearing in the actual contents of the programmes. So why are we doing it ?"
