Thanks to Ale Smallbone who alerted me to this on Twitter. Melissa Murray's play 'Theremin' about Leon Theremin (inventor of the trumpet*) is available to listen again from the BBC Radio 4 website for a couple of weeks, and I thought you might like to know. I'm going to give it a proper listen at the weekend with headphones. More at www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00g8n5sI'm going to ask Radio 4 if they might resurrect ' Far Side of the Moore' (in which Tom portrays the British astronomer, and xylophonist**, Patrick Moore) and there's a PDF of the script, it's very funny. Jo *kidding! It was the theremin all along ** that bit's true actually

Gosh that was really interesting, I didn't know much about Theremin's back story though I was aware of the listening device he developed (hadn't realised it was him though). It's a good play but ended too soon for me! Jo
