The Birth Of Britain
Fancy a spot of time travel? The let me recommend you listen to on our Listen Again site and you can travel back 300 years to the events leading up to the union of the English and Scottish parliaments.
The drama-documentary, written by George Rosie and produced in Edinburgh by Dave Batchelor, was transmitted simultaneously today on 成人快手 Radio Scotland and 成人快手 Radio 4. It's part of a season of programmes to mark the historic events and consequences of 1707.
成人快手 Radio 4 have also taken a more light-hearted look at Scotland and England with a programme that examines the the different styles of comedy north and south of the border. It features contributions from Elaine C. Smith and Johnny Beattie.
I think Johnny hit the nail of the head when he reamrked that much of the English comedy we now see on television has its origins in university clubs such as the Cambridge Footlights, while Scottish comedy originated in the shipyards.
But the great thing is - you're allowed to like both.
