BBC Radio 4 - Tweet of the Day, Tweet Take 5: Nightingale

An extended version of Tweet of the Day featuring the nightingale.

An extended version of Tweet of the Day featuring the nightigale with Samuel West, Joe Harkness and Sam Lee

Beloved by poets, in this extended version of Tweet of the Day we feature a bird which for many epitomises the romance of the night, the nightigale. This outwardly drab two tone brown bird belies its rich bubbling caroling drifting through a summer landscape. In this edition we will hear from actor Samuel West, followed by writer Joe Harkness and finally we hear from folk singer Sam Lee on why they love the song of the nightingale.  

Producer Andrew Dawes

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