Â鶹Éç

Available for over a year

Greg James searches through the Â鶹Éç Archive to track down audio gems, using listener requests, overlooked anniversaries and current stories to guide the way. It’s 25 years since the world braced itself for the arrival of the Millennium Bug, so Greg goes off in search of how we managed to escape with our lives – and toasters – intact. When midnight strikes, will Peter Snow and The Corrs be swallowed up by the Â鶹Éç’s giant Bug Watch screen? Listener emails to the Rewinder inbox send Greg on the trail of Mystery Voices and Michael Bond, creator of Paddington and finds out how the Â鶹Éç tied itself in knots trying to find a real life bear for the lead role. And in the year when darts prodigy Luke Littler was searched more on Google than the King and Prime Minister, Greg steps up to the oche on board HMS versatile in 1941 as it takes a barrage of German bombs.
