Benny Green has always been fascinated by the BBC Sound Archives; a place where, he says, ' the odd and idiosyncratic moment is preserved forever, tabulated and docketed in catalogues which always remind me of celestial telephone directories with the numbers missing.'
In this programme he invites you to hear his selection of memorable moments from the past. '
