1.  A New Editor

BBC Radio 4 Extra - His Master's Voice, 1.  A New Editor

A political satire set in the offices of 'The Blue Touch Paper' magazine.

4 Extra Debut. Plunging sales of an anarchic Tory magazine means a new editor. Mark Tavener’s political satire with Robert Hardy. From 2007.

'The Blue Touch Paper' has become so blue that it's lost its touch.  

Its readership is down due to an old approach, old age, and death, so it's time to appoint a new editor who favours compassionate Cameron conservatism. 

Starring Robert Hardy.
