Yes! I have been listening to The Navy Lark, (reminds me of Sunday dinner) and Hhhhhancocks Half Hour. Brilliant.

Also they have a play every now and then. I heard Blithe Spirit with Roger Allam. Makes a change from the tosh on tv.

Hardly censorship.
It was on in May - you missed it, and it's not currently on 'catch up'.
That's not censorship - that's you sulking because things aren't going your way.

Surely you can download it some other way - you know, with all your tecchie 'know how'.

Try this:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Silver-Sword/dp/B00557IQPE

This:
https://audiobookstore.com/audiobooks/the-silver-sword-unabridged.aspx

This one's free, I believe, not part of a trial:

etc etc.

Radio4 Extra would be a lot more credible if it did not censor anything that one of its bureaucrats thinks remotely possible of upsetting somebody.

For instance the well made Silver Sword.

Have to admit, Dermot, I can't be bothered listening to the news, these days.
Radio 4 extra doesn't have any news, so it's on permanently! :-D :-D

I occasionally tune into R4 Extra to listen to Dad's Army episodes.

Anyone else listen to it?
They're pretty desperate for programmes due to the lockdown.
At the moment, 'Floggits' is on, from 1956 - with Elsie & Doris Waters Sisters of 'Jack Warner' - aka Dixon of Dock Green.
It's before my time - I was born in 1956 - but they are incredibly clever :-D
