To complement Radio 4's news and current affairs output, this weekly series presents a dramatic response to a major story from the week's news. Each week we broadcast a 15 minute stand-alone piece of fiction created from scratch in the days leading up to transmission. The form and content is entirely led by the news topic so you can expect drama in a number of different guises, as well as poetry and prose.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
