On Christmas Eve 1922, Britain's first original radio drama The Truth About Father Christmas by Phyllis Twigg was broadcast on the early BBC. On Christmas Eve 2025, Britain's latest radio drama The Truth About Phyllis Twigg is broadcast on BBC Radio 4, bringing back to life a little of that first radio play, the tale behind it, and fictionalising some of the quest to help give credit where credit's due. This new drama for Radio 4 is produced by B7 Media and written by Paul Kerensa, who also hosts this podcast - so yes after 111 episodes we've finally brought some of the early BBC story (in this unofficial non-BBC podcast - for tis not made by/with/under them) to today's BBC. Thanks if you've listened to or supported the podcast in any way, as it's all helped make it happen. It takes a village! You are that village. Thanks, village! Episode 72 of this podcast told the tale of Phyllis, and how her achievement as first radio dramatist (we can talk about the American one from a year earlier) seemed to fade from history books as Richard Hughes and his A Comedy of Danger gradually took over as 'first radio drama'. Hmm, what an oddity. With neither a recording nor a surviving script, it was nice to discover a short story version of The Truth About Father Christmas, under Phyllis' pen name - so with that, I pitched the idea to radio drama producer Helen Quigley of B7 Media, and she pitched it to Radio 4's Drama Commissioning Editor - who gladly agreed there was a tale to tell. So on the day this podcast lands, so does our radio drama. We're proud of it - we hope you like it. If you don't, that's fine too. It's not perfect, but it's out there! #JusticeforPhyllis - and that's the goal, hopefully via some festive entertainment for your ears. On this accompanying podcast (unofficial - as it's not BBC), I chat to the cast, crew and descendants of Phyllis Twigg the writer and Arthur Burrows the voice behind Father Christmas, and the man who commissioned her in the first place. So on this bumper episode, you'll hear: Helen Quigley - director Tamsin Greig - who plays Phyllis Twigg Rory Kinnear - who plays Arthur Burrows Will Harrison Wallace - who plays Mr White Aja Dodd - who plays Jenny Adams Carina Saner - great-granddaughter and biographer of Phyllis Twigg Nick Heal - grandson of Arthur Burrows Philippa Heal - great-granddaughter of Arthur Burrows Neil Brand - composer ...Thanks to them and many more for making possible this new drama about the first drama. Oh and you'll also hear the 7min reading of the prose version of The Truth About Father Christmas, voiced by Carina Saner, Flora Saner (great-granddaughter and great-great-granddaughter of Phyllis) and myself (no relation!). Thanks to ME London hotel for sharing the recording with us - we recorded it for them, and they've been playing daily in their Atrium, as they're pretty much on the site of the first BBC studio, where that first radio drama began. I advise you listen to The Truth About Phyllis Twigg first - if it's still on BBC Sounds as you find this podcast. If you can't or haven't, you'll still find plenty in this podcast. It was a joy to make. And as I'm working on the biography of Phyllis with her great-granddaughter Carina (Publishers? Get in touch...), the quest continues...

The football took a back seat as the Salah-Slot saga exploded across media, punditry and the dressing room. We dig into Carragher's fiery MNF critique, Gerrard's statesmanlike response, Seedorf's confrontational questioning and the reactions of Van Dijk, Alisson and Robertson. We explore why Richard Hughes stepped in, what Slot meant by “I am not weak,” and how this rift could still be repaired.

Dave Davis and David Lynch dive into a defining week that could make or break Liverpool's season. With Arne Slot's position weakening by the game, they unpack the mounting pressure after his pointed comments on Konaté, the leaked Van Dijk clip and the growing feeling that the manager is running out of road. Lynch outlines why Liverpool's struggles are not a blip but the continuation of a rot that began last season. Five points from matches against sides in the bottom half is nowhere near good enough, and even the improved defensive shape is masking a team that no longer creates, no longer controls and no longer convinces. The pair also turn the spotlight on Richard Hughes and Michael Edwards, questioning how the sporting leadership has avoided deeper scrutiny as the Salah row, poor recruitment calls and tactical stagnation converge. With Salah's interview tying the club's hands, Slot may now survive longer — but only because Liverpool cannot afford to look like they are bowing to player power. Then comes the football: Inter at the San Siro and Brighton at Anfield. Two opponents in better form, with clearer identities, and with every reason to fancy their chances. Dave and Lynch outline why defeat in both games is entirely plausible and why Slot's compact, low-event football feels like a short-term sticking plaster rather than a solution. Total uncertainty. Total chaos. A club waiting for answers that may not come. This week could reshape everything. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
This week we focus on the Hansard Society's new book, Britain Votes 2024, which brings together a powerhouse team of leading political scientists - including Professors Sir John Curtice, Phil Cowley and Tim Bale - and many other distinguished experts to dissect every facet of a record-breaking general election. The 2024 contest delivered the largest post-war swing, a Labour landslide, and the Conservatives' lowest-ever parliamentary representation. This volume, a special edition of our Parliamentary Affairs journal, explains how and why such a dramatic turnaround came about. We talk to the editors Alistair Clark, Louise Thompson and Stuart Wilks-Hee to unpack how Labour won a landslide on just a third of the vote, why the 2024 contest shattered so many electoral records, and what this says about the resilience – or fragility – of UK democracy. We explore the extraordinary disproportionality of the result, the historically low turnout, and the sense of voters “fishing around” for alternatives in a system under strain.Britain Votes 2024: The 2024 UK General Election is available now from all good bookshops and online retailers. Podcast listeners can get 30% off via the Oxford University Press website using the discount code: AUFLY30This week we also discuss another turbulent week in Westminster, from the Budget fallout and the sudden resignation of OBR chair Richard Hughes to the unusual constitutional power Parliament holds over his post via the Treasury Committee. We explore the politics of abstention versus rebellion inside a government with a huge majority, and what to expect as the Finance Bill and a separate National Insurance Contributions (Employer Pension Contributions) Bill reach Parliament before Christmas.We also examine the afterlives of ex-MPs: Lloyd Russell-Moyle's move from Labour to the Greens, the flow of former Conservatives into Reform, and what these shifts say about deeper tensions on the right. Plus, we dig into a row over local democracy as the government delays new mayoral elections in parts of Sussex, Essex, Norfolk, Suffolk and Hampshire, prompting cross-party accusations that Labour is “cancelling democracy” and confusion about whether other local contests will still go ahead.____
The Office for Budget Responsibility is supposed to be the calm, quiet body that keeps watch over Britain's public finances. But after it accidentally released its Budget analysis before Chancellor Rachel Reeves delivered her statement, its chair Richard Hughes resigned and the watchdog suddenly became the lead story. Today on The Bunker, Seth Thévoz is joined by economist and former Treasury adviser Giles Wilkes to ask: what exactly is the OBR, and why does this low-profile institution hold so much power over the UK economy? • Head to nakedwines.co.uk/thebunker to get 6 top-rated wines from our sponsor Naked Wines for £39.99, delivery included. www.patreon.com/bunkercast Follow us on BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/bunkerpod.bsky.social • Advertisers!

The drama rages on, one week after Chancellor Rachel Reeves stood at the dispatch box to deliver her second Budget. Richard Hughes has resigned as OBR chair following the catastrophic budget leak and calls for Rachel Reeves to do the same have not let up. Ed Balls and George Osborne look at the “shambolic” fallout of the budget, and how Labour have once again grasped defeat from the jaws of victory in yet another communications disaster for the party. Then, the pair discuss David Lammy's drastic measures to scrap juries for the majority of cases in England and Wales. Is this the biggest change to our justice system since the Magna Carta or a necessary step to solve the mounting backlog of cases, bringing the courts to the brink? And why on earth didn't anybody prepare the ground for it?Finally, Ed and George look across the channel to the rise of the far right in Germany and France. With the AfD and National Rally looking on the cusp of electoral victory and Reform's path to power looking inevitable, what lessons can Keir Starmer learn from his European allies to stop Nigel Farage securing the keys to No 10?

The chair of the Office for Budget Responsibility has gone, the Chancellor is being accused of misleading the public. So how did that budget go? Richard Hughes has taken responsibility for the accidental leak of the budget and resigned. What does this mean for the OBR's future and political trust in it? Meanwhile, the Chancellor has been accused of misleading the public over the state of public finances. So what did happen in the budget pitch-rolling and what does this tell us about how well the UK does budgets? Could we, should we, do them differently? Plus - the Justice Secretary has revealed his plans for changes to jury trials. We dig into the latest news.

Today we're going to be talking about David Lammy, and his brand new plans to drastically reduce the number of jury trials in the UK in an attempt to address the backlog. With the backlog of cases due to be heard in courts already at 78,000, and heading for 100,000, the Justice Secretary believes that only radical solutions can tackle the ‘courts emergency'. But is he being too radical? This comes on the same day that Lammy announced that 12 prisoners have been accidentally released in the last three weeks.But first, the Budget fallout continues and there has been a resignation but – crucially – it's not the Chancellor. After the OBR leaked the Budget early, its chairman Richard Hughes has taken the fall and resigned last night. Does this ease or increase the pressure on Rachel Reeves?Oscar Edmondson speaks to James Heale and Isabel Hardman.Produced by Oscar Edmondson.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

Pre-match press conference with Liverpool manager Arne Slot ahead of West Ham v Liverpool in the Premier League at London Stadium. Slot discusses recent form, confidence and the pressure around the squad after a difficult run of results. He says the support from Richard Hughes and the ownership has been consistent since he arrived, insists there is no frustration with his players, and explains why the team must keep fighting together in challenging moments. Slot talks about reflecting on decisions after defeats, the importance of rewarding good phases of play, and how individual errors have been punished recently. He provides updates on Alisson, Florian and Hugo, with Alisson expected to be available and Florian close to returning to full training. Slot praises Nuno Espirito Santo's impact at West Ham and the difficulty of facing them in their current form. He also speaks about XG, missed chances, Curtis Jones' passionate interview, restoring confidence, player messaging, and how team spirit must remain strong throughout.

Dave and David turn to the off-the-pitch storm now engulfing Liverpool, asking whether Arne Slot and Richard Hughes should be under far more scrutiny. They unpack Van Dijk's explosive post-match comments, the continued lack of intensity and structure, and the baffling substitutions that have turned late-game scenarios into chaos. The conversation digs into the deeper issues: why Liverpool's tactical plan isn't visible, why signings aren't bedding in, and why the squad feels disjointed despite heavy investment. They examine the disconnect between recruitment and on-pitch execution, the growing concern about right-back options, the questionable fit of summer arrivals like Frimpong and Kirkes, and the real risk that Champions League qualification could slip away. This cut captures the rising pressure on Slot, the doubts around the summer rebuild, and the moment where Liverpool must decide whether things can still be rescued. Learn more about your ad choices.

Josh talks to Richard Hughes about the world of firmware. We cover how Richard's journey from developing the ColorHug led to the creation of the Linux Vendor Firmware Service (LVFS), changing how firmware updates are managed for nearly every Linux user. Updating firmware has always been dicey, and on Linux it used to be impossible. Richard helps us understand how this all works and how we can all help out.

The discussion turns to recruitment and system chaos under Arne Slot. The panel pick apart a confusing summer window where Liverpool replaced Trent's unique passing with Frimpong's pace, signed two strikers but no left winger and built a team that looks like a poor tactical fit. They debate whether Slot actually chose these players or if Michael Edwards and Richard Hughes have boxed him in. Has the rebuild gone wrong before it even started? Learn more about your ad choices.

Die weltweit ersten Hörspiele sind nicht in der Schweiz entstanden. Sondern in England und Frankreich. SRF hat diese drei Kurzhörspiele rekonstruierend produziert und sie von Urs Helmensdorfer kommentieren und einordnen lassen. «Marémoto» von Cusy Pierre und Germinet Gabriel fesselte 1924 die Hörenden durch einen ganz besonderen radiophonen Kniff: Die Geschichte entwickelt sich anhand von Funksprüchen und liess die Zuhörer so hautnah an einer Schiffskatastrophe teilhaben. «Agonie» von Camille Paul ist das erste monologische Hörspiel und zeigte damit schon in den ersten Tagen des Hörspiels auf, wofür die Gattung eine ganz besondere Eignung hat: Für das Erzählen von zutiefst Innerem. «A Comedy of Danger» von Richard Hughes gilt mit seiner Ursendung im Januar 1924 bei der BBC als erstes Originalhörspiel in Europa. Es läutete eine ganze Reihe von Bergwerks- und Grubenhörspielen ein. Denn das «Im Dunkeln sitzen» passte so ausgezeichnet zum «Nur Hören» der neuen Radiokunst. SRF hat dieses Hörspiel in den 1960er Jahren auf Deutsch produziert – in «Anfänge des Hörspiels» hört man den ersten Teil von «Danger» in der SRF-Version, den zweiten Teil in einer Rekonstruktion durch die BBC. «Anfänge des Hörspiels» war das Eröffnungsstück der Reihe «50 Jahre Hörspiel», die SRF 1974 beging. (Aufgemerkt: das erste Hörspiel wurde 1924 ausgestrahlt; das erst Schweizerdeutsche Hörspiel aber erst 1925). Aber, wie in den Originaldokumenten zum Hörstück nachdrücklich vermerkt ist: «Kann [es] unabhängig von einem Jubiläum gesendet werden!!» ____________________ Mitwirkende: Kommentar von Helmut Winkelmann Dauer: 12' «Marémoto»: Mit : Alphonse Kehrer (Présentateur), Gil Pidoux (1.Stimme, Badin), Daniel Fillion (2.Stimme, François), Claude Mariau (le directeur) sowie Gérald Bloch, Alain Paloux, Michel Grobety und Gilles Thibeault (quatre voix d'hommes) und Christiane Vincent, Claudine Berthet und Danielle Devillers (trois voix des femmes) Dauer: 9' Tontechnik: Marie-Thérèse Firman und Jean-Pierre Tille – Regie: Amido Hoffmann – Produktion: SRF 1974 «Agonie»: Mit: Jean Vigny (Der Sterbende) Dauer: 15' Regie: Amido Hoffmann – Produktion: SRF 1974 «How listening plays are done» von Richard Hughes Dauer: 4' «A Comedy of Danger» Teil 1(deutsch): Mit: Maria Magdalena Thiesing (Mary), Peter Brogle (Jack), Erwin Parker (Bax), Regie: Kurt Bürgin – Produktion: SRF 1962 Teil 2 (englisch): Mit: Carol Marsh (Mary), Christopher Good (Jack), Carleton Hobbs (Bax) Regie: Raymond Raikes – Produktion: BBC: 1973 ____________________ Produktion: Urs Helmensdorfer, SRF 1974 ____________________ Dauer: 59′

The non-call handball - Darren fuckin England again. Salah's 29th goalTrophy lift and the Parade with one bad actor claiming too much of the narrativeThe national reporting of Liverpool's title has been bizarre - Mo Salah just matched the goal involvement totals of Shearer and Cole in 4 less games. POY on every measure.Part Two - knock out football is tough - Champions League Final20th anniversary of IstanbulLost to PSG on penalties and somehow Villa and Arsenal occupy more of the narrativeNation states - thanks to Clive Tyldelsey for bringing it upPart Three - looking ahead:What is Richard Hughes trying to solve for - pace, between the lines, learning from PSG?Jeremy FrimpongWirtz - looks like we will have to pay moreKerkez - personal terms agreed?10m Euros for TAA, up to 19m GBP for Caoimnhe We will be back with more reflections and looking ahead.

And while many fans will feel frustrated, there has also been the shock of seeing Richard Hughes strike deals for several of Liverpool's younger players, such as Bobby Clark We discuss all that and more on the latest Blood Red podcast.
