Spitting Images

February 7th, 2008 by Russell Davies

Roger Law, he of Spitting Image, takes us on a visit to Dafen, the “art factory village” in China, where expert (and not-so-expert) fakes/replicas are churned out for the world market. It’s splendid radio. Mr Law is a little more spontaneous and bouncy than the average radio voice, he clearly knows what he’s talking about and is more mischievous about the morality and economics of the whole thing than a normal correspondent might be. Lovely, lovely. It would have been nice if there could have been some pictures on the Radio Four page though. I can’t believe no-one took a camera. Ah well. MP3 here. (And some Reuters video of Dafen here.)
