The Radio Plays of Jonanthan Raban

[Robert Clark (rcgreybeard)]

There was no inference of like or dislike with my comment, just that I haven't seen a website look like that for a very long time.

You still haven't told me why I should contact them - perhaps it is to find out if the owner has a vision impairment although that seems hardly relevant.

Maybe the web creator is blind, so your comment is offensive. 

No, Nigel D is far from blind - in addition to being a radio drama enthusiast, he's an artist www.suttonelms.org.uk/ART1.HTML

You could contact the Sutton Elms / Diversity folk.

As far as dusty archives go, at least they have survived and there's always the chance that 4extra will rebroadcast them - especially if we drop subtle hints. Not sure what "public domain" means, surely the originator / artists still have copyright?

Out of interest, Stephen Byers, did you record any pre-2000 radio drama?  I started recording in the early 80s, but nowhere near as frequently as Nigel D. I returned a small handful of missing plays to the World Service Archive project and helped with the drama cataloguing.
