    I'm honestly not too sure what the difference is at this point apart from some recent Radio 4 stuff but the schedule is gold dust. RTE radio One can only dream of this quality of programming.

    Some stuff this week
    Hordes of the Things (Lord of the Rings parody) is on tomorrow at 17.00,

    Wednesday
    18.00 The Very World of Milton Jones
    19:30 Hancock's Half Hour

    Thurdsay
    09:30 Just a Minute
    23:30 Children's Hour with Armstrong and Miller

    Friday
    15:00 Alan Bennett - An Englishman Abroad (play)
    23:30 Lenin of the Rovers Midfield-maestro Ricky Lenin's battle for Britain's first communist football team.

    Saturday
    22:00 Robert Newman - Apocalypso Now
    Robert Newman entertains an audience at London's Tricycle Theatre, Kilburn.

    I enjoy listening to BBC Radio 7. I discovered it via satellite recently, it's like radio heaven. I hadn't heard that Radio 7 is going. Is it being replaced with Radio 4 Extra?

    That would appear to be what's happening, yes.

    yeah, there was a piece about this on Broadcasting House last week - I'd say it'll be good. I like the "Archers Extra" concept - BBC7 was good but I think it was ignored largely. This is an effort to rebrand - still 7 at its core, but with a few new goodies from 4.

    From what I've heard, it seems that several of the Radio7 presenters are absent from Radio4extra... most notably Michaela Saunders...more budget cutbacks perhaps?
