sorry for erractic nature of these posts -the BBC are getting slow at
updating the website - this week it has been done today, but last week I
didn't notice it updated until it was too late - if you ever want to enter
this and I haven't posted, then use the listen again feature to listen from
around the last 20 minutes of the programme.
My suggested answers are in brackets, but do feel free to correct them if
necessary!
