Whatever Happened To The Teapots?

November 16th, 2009 by Russell Davies

There aren't enough Midlands accents on the radio. That's just true. These lovely programmes help to rectify that and add all sorts of splendid talk about Thatcher teapots, dog chews and the relative competitiveness of Stoke and China. MP3 here. And here are programmes 2, 3, 4, and 5.

Presenter: Roger Law
Producer: Mark Rickards

Listen: [MP3]
