Notes

Ben Musgrave grew up in Bangladesh, India and Britain. An experienced theatre writer, Ben won first prize in the 2007 inaugural Bruntwood playwriting competition at the Manchester Royal Exchange. Ben's most recent stage play 'His Teeth' was described by The Manchester Guardian as 'entirely gripping'. This is Ben's first play for radio and he emerged through the BBC Writers Room "Sparks" scheme.

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