Was that The Price of Fear?

I think that was later. I'd discovered beer by then!

The Price of Fear still stands up , better than ' Man in Black' and such stuff!

Terrible second part of War of the Worlds. Too much domestic incident, not enough Martians, most disappointed.

A fascinating tale about one man's quest to find Alexander the Great's lost city in Afghanistan in the nineteenth century.

I'm off work tomorrow so planning to do bugger all except listen to a load of stuff off the radio (Journey to the Centre of the Earth on R4 IPlayer) and reading the new stadium thread for 10 hours.

The Invention of the USA on Radio 4. Three programmes (third next week) examining the early history of America. The first deals with the aftermath of independence and the creation of the state. The second deals with the settling of the borders between British Canada and Mexico.

Filled in a few gaps of American history for me as well as debunking a few myths. Really worth a listen.

yeah i heard that. Good listening. There's quite a few I've listened to more than once, like the Iranian Embassy siege, Zeebruge, Fastnet disaster, JFK shooting. Cracking programme.
