Linda Smith - a Modern Radio Star

on BBC Radio 4 FM

A tribute to comedian and Radio 4 favourite Linda Smith, who died earlier this year. Andy Hamilton talks to her friends and colleagues, including Jeremy Hardy, Mark Steele, Hattie Hayridge, Sandy Toksvig, Nicholas Parsons, Chris Neill, Tony Hawks,
Simon Hoggart, Barry Cryer and her partner Warren Lakin. He also treats us to some of her best radio bits, including her own sitcom Linda Smith's A Brief History of Timewasting, her appearances as a panellist on The News Quiz, Just a Minute and I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue, and her musings on Radio 4's Devout Sceptics that led to her being asked to be President of the Humanist Society.
