Â鶹Éç

Have you ever heard of the Â鶹Éç being referred to as ‘Auntie’, ‘Aunt Beebs’ or ‘Auntie B’?

To mark 100 years since the Â鶹Éç started daily radio broadcasts, Emma Barnett was joined on Â鶹Éç Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour by television presenter and comedian Mel Giedroyc and Â鶹Éç Historian Professor Jean Seaton. They explained a bit about why the Â鶹Éç got this nickname and commented on what kind of aunt she would be.

Listen on Â鶹Éç Sounds - it’s the episode from 14 November.
