An appropriate haiku begins this Father's Day show. On This Day, a British garrison was imprisoned in the Black Hole of Calcutta and Samuel Morse patented the telegraph. Raina Lampkins-Fielder reads Sam Shepard's story about a forgetful father, Berlin Wall Piece. Jarvis shares more theories about blancmange, celebrates midsummer, and marks Team Green Britain Bike Week by reading from David Byrne's Bicycle Diaries. Richard Harris declaims a passage by Kahlil Gibran about parenthood - and John Shuttleworth adds his two-penn'orth. And Joe Cocker: Is He Any Good? Birthdays: Johnny Morris (doing animal voices), Anne Murray, Terence Young, Jacques Offenbach, Chet Atkins, Wendy Craig, Kurt Schwitters (reciting his tone poem Ursonate) and Erroll Flynn (gathering lilacs in the spring). Valete: Conrad Schumann (the sound of propaganda being blasted eastwards and westwards at the Berlin Wall).
