Great news, but I hope BBC4 consider reverting to just one show a week, as I think they have been pelted at us too quickly this year. By my reckoning 11 shows will be Yewtreed, as I assume the 1000th edition in May will have a Jim'll presence.<br /><br />Good to see that they will be showing the 22 July edition next week. The Beeb have presumably dubbed the audio for the links back on to their copy from the recording they were given a few months back.
