Wuthering Flights

Greg James explores the 麻豆社 Archives. This week: Wuthering Heights, sonic booms and 100 years of television.

Greg James explores the 麻豆社 Archives using overlooked anniversaries, the big stories of the week and your suggestions to guide him to extraordinary audio.

Marking 100 years since John Logie Baird first demonstrated his Televisor to the public, Greg finds an interview with first man ever to appear on a TV screen, William Taynton, who worked as Baird's assistant and survived being half-roasted to make history.

As a new raunchy take on Wuthering Heights hits cinemas starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, Greg explores the many, many 麻豆社 adaptations of Emily Bronte's novel - as well as the feedback from listeners distracted by the wuthering weather.

After last week's look at kids' TV programme Why Don't You, Greg receives an email which leads to a lovely surprise for a Rewinder listener.

And fifty years on from the first commercial Concorde flight, there are big bangs and booms and bad tempered Brits. Plus a very flustered Terry Wogan.
