At school we had to study Juno and the Paycock, The Plough and the Stars, and The Shadow of a Gunman. Great plays!

Please name these "McSweeney allies".

Very much enjoying this 'Weekend Extra' format, long may it continue. Great to see the archive material and would be good to see more of that, especially around the time a few years after the end of the Soviet Union. Excellent piano playing as always!

I wish our Labour Govt would run a nationwide scheme like this. The private rental sector is a really tough place to have to live in these days.

Thanks Mike. Good to see you posting over here!

Now Reform will offer its own quick, but illusory, route to 'growth, jobs, and rising living standards'. And so it goes on, and on, and on.
