Available for over a year

Listeners from all over the world are outraged at the idea of getting rid of the 'living library'. The inconsistency of the BBC 'electronic address' causes irritation. On Air Editor Steve Martin agrees and announces a new address for the World Service. Is John Peel a 'goldie' or a 'moldie' - strong opinions on the music played by DJ, from 'discordant din' to 'a wonderful diversity'.
