It's 10/10/10, but Jarvis observes that some countries skipped this date On This Day in 1582, because of the adoption of the Gregorian calendar. And today in 1967, the Outer Space Treaty was agreed. Jarvis features theatre group Forced Entertainment, with music and dialogue from their play The Thrill of It All, plus two members discussing the music they use. Salman Rushdie talks about his novel Luka and the Fire of Life, written for his son. He mentions storytelling, his love of animal fables and folk tales, and the quest narrative found in videogames. He also reads an excerpt about the fantastical borderland between the world of imagination and the real world. Finally, a snippet of Orson Welles. Birthdays: Alberto Giacometti, Nicholas Parsons, Charles Dance, Ed Wood, Chris Tarrant, Tony Adams and Harold Pinter (Kenneth Williams and Peter Reeves perform a Pinter scene).
