Whistling Calculus for Tax Purposes.

Dear Radio Times,
As a mother of 20 years' standing and more recently lying down, can I make a heartfelt plea to those upstairs. Could you tone down the irritating laughter during Alexei Sayle's Stuff. It drowns out the studio audience so heaven knows what you're doing in that flat.
Joan Lloyd, Nine Elms.

Alexei Sayle replies: Who gives a damn what you think!

Best Friends
What is a best friend and the special quality that makes the relationship tick? Is it true that only women have really close friendships? Seven sets of best friends reveal the delights, the fun and the intimacy of their close friendships and speak frankly about the moments of disappointment.
Among them are the co-authors of a book on best friends, two nuns who started at a convent together but now lead completely different lives, a group of ex-pill-packers who revel in their 50-year-long friendship and two men who only recently realised how unusual the closeness of their male friendship was. Plus, why it's possible to have a truly
Platonic relationship, and 91-year-old Katharine Moore tells the secret of her correspondence with the late Joyce Grenfell. Producer JULIA MCLAREN
