The iPM team (1942)

The iPM team in 1942. The ashtray on my desk is always going missing. I blame Eddie.

    A long long time ago when the Conservative Party led by Mrs Margaret Thatcher was the single most important individual on the UK (actually the British - NI didn't matter) political scene, the BBC started the Radio 4 Generation. It was featured recently on the BBC's Feedback programme.

    I was one of the producers making six programmes on indiviual members and a special on Europe.

    Recently I have been wondering whatever happened the R4Gen (which we never called it). I'm pretty sure it fell apart for 2 reasons; the Controller radio 4 changed (as did the programme priorities) and the computer that had all the contact details crashed with all the contact details evaporating in a clous of 10010101010101010's

    So whatever happened the Radio 4 Generation? Can we put them together before the next election? Can I convince the powers at Radio 4 to make one more programme as these R4Genners hit middle age?

    Can you help?

    The Radio 4 Generation Hits middle age ... I nominate Fry as the presenter and testbed as the production company. I'll help. can you?



    Let's prove Social Media and revive the Radio 4 Middle Aged Generation. Are they all PM/Eddie Mair and Archers fans? (I remember Mair on Breakaway)



    Nick/Stephen (you know who you are) - are you for it?

    PM staff, I'd like to ask a question - perhaps it is interesting and relevant and perhaps you can find someone like Nils the Numbers to answer. It's;

    I hear a lot about free trade and the dangers of protectionism and it makes sense.

    I also hear about the demand and the "green" arguments for local produce. Also makes sense.

    But you cannot favour local produce without protectionism of some variety.

    So - can anybody there square the circle for me, or is it simply a question of voting for two parties?

    Had you thought? I'd really like some analysis of this.

    4 - unless we watch TV, listen to radio or read the papers of course, in which case.

    We run our house a little colder and darker than most of our children's friends (haven't turned the heating on yet!). One recently described our house as scary.

    So the question is, am I mean or green? When does one cross to the other?

    DavySims- this appears to suggest the BBC puts on a politically biased programme in time for the next election. (I sense some criticism of Margaret Thatcher,pbbuh) I certainly hope they don't fall for it.
