Vicki is the 'Tuesday Guest' in the 3rd hour - long interview plus
6 records
of her choice. She's from Norfolk originally.

Good interview with most of the railway content later in the hour.

Geoff and Vicki have a book out for Christmas about All the
Stations and are
planning an Irish tour in the future.

Thanks, I'd never have stumbled on that. I'd no idea she was a dancer and
drummer, or that you could do an MA at the Globe Theatre. Interesting how a
temporary job at Buck House can lead to a long-term job at the LT Museum.

I'm sure Roland would approve of the references to Ely.

It appears to requires a "BBC account" to listen on my PC.


It didn't require any acount when I played it.


Perhaps your browser has a saved-signin?


Even if it does (I can't remember), I thought I'd see it signing in. But
when I just tried it in a different browser, it did ask me to sign in.


Anyway, I've created an anonymous account, and *now* it says I need
Flash Player. Which I don't have installed, as a security measure.


I watched it on my iPad, which also doesn't have Flash. Maybe there's a
different, Flash-free version if you're accessing from a mobile device, as
most don't have Flash? Of course, it's silly for them to require Flash on
*any* device for a purely audio playback.

I'll have to wait until I can play it on my TV (I presume a TV iPlayer
does radio too?)


There's a separate iPlayer for BBC Radio. Not sure if your TV can access
that.


It appears not (apart from Radio1 which is apparently now regarded as a
TV channel)!


That's a new one on me.
