The Verb on Lateness...

BBC Radio 4 - The Verb, The Verb on Lateness...

Ian McMillan presents Radio 3's cabaret of the word, examining lateness.

Ian McMillan presents Radio 3's cabaret of the word, examining lateness. Ian's guests are Andy Miller, Ira Lightman and Karen Leeder.

On tonight's Verb, the early Ian McMillan ( a man who is never knowingly late ) welcomes lovers of literary lateness into the Verb studio. He explores the power of the deadline for writers, the idea of lateness as a gambling addiction, the impact of a line delivered late on stage, the attraction German poets have felt towards the idea of lateness, and the pleasures and work of 'late' song - otherwise known as the lullaby.

Live music and the arts: broadcasts more live music than any other radio network. Classical music is its core. Genres include world and new music, jazz, speech and drama.
