Planes, Trains and Automobiles

Duration: 30 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 FMLatest broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 Extra

Available for years

Paul asks "How did we get here?", quite literally, getting the studio audience to tell him how they got to the BBC Radio Theatre, and then regaling them with stories from the history of transport.

From the area of London that became a Russian train station, to the man who revolutionised both the motor industry and the music charts, to the names of airports around the world.

Paul is telling all about the world of planes, trains and automobiles revealing fascinating facts and surprising stories (unless you listen on a weekend, when a bus replacement service is in operation).

This is the series that uncovers the fascinating stories that we've forgotten in our onward march of progress.

Written and performed by Paul Sinha.

Producer: Ed Morrish

A BBC Radio Comedy production for BBC Radio 4, first broadcast in June 2016. Show less
