Looking Upwards Every Day

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

'When I was a boy it was still not unreasonable to speculate about there being "A friend for little children above the bright, blue sky", the same who wanted me for a sunbeam: they needed a friend up there before penicillin. The latest edition of the MHB I've not seen. It's said to be in harmony with antibiotics, moon shots, black holes and weathermen, so it must have been severely mauled, like the James 1 Bible and the Tridentine Mass.'
