To escape the miserable weather, we go on an aural holiday — with a first class flight, a touch of holiday romance, and the sound of surf on the sand. John McGregor reads his story about a meeting in a lost property office. We have a cocktail (today in 1933 Prohibition was repealed), spy mermaids on the rocks and go for a dip in the pool. The Peel T is for June Tabor, and On This Day back in dreary London, the congestion charge scheme began. As Jarvis sails off into the sunset, he suggests we think of this show as his holiday postcard. Birthdays: (Larry Adler last week), Ron Goodwin, David McComb, Alan Bates (being begged to tell a story in Whistle Down the Wind), Paris Hilton (on her love of pound shops), Gene Pitney, Rebecca Adlington and Ed Sheeran. Valete: Paul Tanner.
