Getting to Know U.K., Getting to Know All About U.K...

Did you know BBC Radio 4 actually has a radio program(me) called Desert Island Discs? I thought that was an imaginary show Tom Stoppard invented in his play The Real Thing.

I'm not sure who this woman is on the show right now... "I couldn't spell, I was struggling in school..." That could be anyone.

I'm sorry I missed last week's episode, which featured Robert Fisk. Would you believe he had them play Hatikva, the national anthem of Israel? It's true. Also, Mellow Yellow.
