The Oxford Literary Festival, at the end of March, sponsored by FT Weekend, and partnered by supposedly-cash-strapped BBC Four, has an huge BBC list running through it.
In order, you get Jim Al-Khalilii, James Naughtie, Andrew Graham-Dixon, Sheila Dillon, Lucy Worsley, Mark Tully, Kirsty Wark, Hardeep Singh Kohli, Ed Stourton, Jeremy Paxman, Michael Blastland, Melvyn Bragg, Count Arthur Strong, and Gavin Hewitt. You could reduce some costs by moving it to Broadcasting House.
If that's not enough, Lord Patten gets to choose the festival's lecturer, who will be Orhan Pamuk.
