Mastering the Universe

Demand: Go to this link and listen to why I love radio here so much! This is Mastering the Universe and it is outstanding! Some of you will know Dawn French -- Virginia, Katie, Paul....

"Spoiling someone else's pleasure is the most deeply rewarding of all the controlling arts. Feeling cold in restaurants, hiding behind your hair, answering in monosyllables, making a little tutting noise when anyone says something amusing - these are just some of the tried and tested fun-prevention techniques which have been used by miserable sods down the centuries."

It's only 15 minutes, so no complaining. You'll click on the "Listen Again" link on the right hand side and it should open up a new listening window with the player in it. You may listen to it there or open it in RealPlayer. Am trying to figure out how to save the episodes onto my computer, so if anyone has any ideas.... anyone? anyone? This week's episode comes on Radio 4 in 40 minutes :) It is "The Joy of Sulks".

At the very end, you will hear the intro to "A Posset Full of Death" -- HYSTERICAL parody of The Name of the Rose (book and movie. movie starred Christian Slater.). So you really ought to listen to that, too. And you can even hear the back episodes. Which I am about to do. While reading, naturally.
