Richard Baker reading news


Your News, if you don't send it... then the script stays blank (see Richard Baker above).

We're always on at you to "share what you know", but with Your News it couldn't be easier. One sentence about an event or incident in your life this week. Simple.

We (sometimes) add the old Nine O'Clock News theme and always book some of the BBC's top radio talent to read the bulletin. Last week's Your News went for broke and secured the services of Nils Blythe (he's "the business").

Here's the script:

My jaw clicked last Wednesday. It clicked again on Thursday. A week later it still hurts. I can't eat food over an inch in height as a result.

Went on my first photographic outing of the year yesterday, ISO 1600 and the light readings still rubbish, when is this cold spell going to end??

Started twittering this week, with my first twitter all about dinner: "Just about to cook yummy Quorn Fajitas for dinner"

Now have a very distinguished streak of white gloss paint in my hair after spending most of the week painting our bedroom.

Went to a memorial for an ex-boyfriend who died too young, but cheered up by gorgeous Handel opera on Radio 3.

I got a Goblin teasmaid from Freecycle, and it's got a radio in it, so now i get woken up by Today with tea - perfection!

If you have a sentence of news you'd like to share with us this week, email us or leave a comment below.

iPS: iPM is hoping to devote a whole edition of the show to Your News in the near future. What do you think?

    My comment is that it is 18th February - and the Christmas lights in Machynlleth, Powys, mid-Wales are still up - all of them - two are on every evening. They have been up for over two months now - soon it will be Easter. I do not like it. What do you think?

    Eddie - that's a lovely picture of that nice Richard Baker, really lovely. Sometimes he'd sit on the end of the desk reading the lunchtime news headlines, along with Kenneth Kendall, Peter Woods, Richard Whitmore and Bob Dougall. Not all at the same time of course... that would've been silly.

    Anyhoo, here's my news. Most motorcars are conglomerations Eddie. (This is a long word for bundles) of steel and wire and rubber and plastic and electricity and oil and petrol and water, and the toffee papers I've just found, that a certain Mr Effingham has pushed down a crack in the front seat. :0(

    Not nice!

    Actually Eddie, Mr Effingham isn't all that bad, he once toured Britain with The Monkees ... then Mr. Chippenfield promoted him to the elephants and gave him a bigger shovel.

    Eddie, for a long time, I was very impressed with Mr Effingham's amazing musical ear... until I discovered he was picking up Radio Two on his deaf aid.
