The week's radio choices
John Humphrys is the guest, cello player and serious concert-goer as well as presenter on the Today programme where, this month, he reaches his 21st anniversary. Is he still cross that BBC1 removed him from his Sunday lunchtime TV programme? Probably, not that he's short of work. He still does On the Ropes for Radio 4 (very well, too) and clearly enjoys chairing Mastermind on BBC2 but, last year, when he did a reporting stint from Iraq, recalling his old days as a foreign correspondent, he came into his own. Listen to Desert Island Discs on the BBC websiteSATURDAY 5 JANUARY The Archive Hour: God, Pirates and the Ovaltineys (Radio 4)
From the 1920s to the late 1930s the BBC's radio monopoly was challenged by European operators such as Radio Normandy, Radio Toulouse and Poste Parisien, all broadcasting in English and popular all over, especially on Sundays when the BBC was strictly Sabbatarian.
