I think I'm right in saying people outside the UK can listen to BBC radio over the internet. Fans of the British Museum might be interested in the new BM/BBC series A History of the World in 100 Objects, starting on Monday 18th January:

Patrick - thanks for posting about this. I continue to be amazed at the wealth of information the internet is making available to us.

I stopped listening to the first programme because I was put off by the distracting music and a ponderous introduction. However, I gave it another go this morning: the music is still annoying but the talk was stimulating. It should provide an excellent spur to go exploring distant corners of the museum.

I heard my first one this morning and I am now really keen to see the swimming reindeer carving!

Me too. Maybe bump into you there!

Patrick, Thank you so much for posting this notice. The program is terrific - so informative and that wonderful British humor. It's almost as good as a trip to London. What a gift - and we never would have known of it if you hadn't posted it!
