The Archive Hour: Thanks for Listening

on BBC Radio 4 FM

John Ebdon , who died last year, was for 26 years one of the stalwarts of the Radio 4 sound - his skittish and silly comic journeys into the archive were a fixture of every third Monday. At 8.45am his inimitable opening line, "How do you do?" set up a journey into a fictional soundworld starring him and his cat, Perseus. But Ebdon was a man of many other passions besides broadcasting - he was the director of the London Planetarium and had a lifelong love affair with Greece. Nick Baker presents a celebration of Ebdon's multiple talents and explores how he created a unique Style. Producer Emma Kingsley
