While everyone’s wibbling on about the world crashing around our ears it’s worth listening to this programme - about a time when it nearly was; when unflappable gents were parked in Vulcan bombers, only half a minute away from taking off with their nuclear payloads and various people had to make serious plans about how and where they wanted to die. MP3 here. (And thanks to Curtis for alerting us to this one.)
