HAVE YOUR SAY
"I was lucky enough to be lectured at college by Charles Parker (producer of the original Radio Ballads in the 1960s). Now, 30 years later, I feared the Radio Ballad as an art form had gone the way of the herring fishing, mining, steel, and ship-building industries. I am delighted that this series proves me wrong. As someone who works in commercial radio, I will defend the BBC to the death while it continues to make programmes like these."
