Last Saturday, I had to get up earlyish to move my car and avoid getting a parking ticket. As usual when I'm nervous, I awoke earlier than I needed to. So it was that I happened to hear a repeat of a programme that I'd heard on BBC Radio 4 sometime last year, "The Soundhunter". After listening to it in bed, I looked it up on DigiGuide [or myTVinfo in the United States], which describes the programme as
ENTERTAINMENT: The Soundhunter
