Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em - A Celebration Of A Comedy Classic

SOME MOTHERS DO 'AVE 'EM - A CELEBRATION OF A COMEDY CLASSIC (320kbs-m4a/127mb/55mins)
BBC Radio 4 Extra broadcast: 25th July 2026

'Ooh Betty!'

It's time to celebrate the BBC's hit TV comedy about the disaster-prone lives of hapless Frank Spencer and his long-suffering wife Betty.

Created by Ray Allen, it ran for 22 episodes over three series from 1973-78, starring Michael Crawford and Michele Dotrice - spawning a host of catchphrases and impersonators.

In this behind-the-scenes documentary, scriptwriter Ray reveals his difficulty in getting the show commissioned - and how Michael Crawford wasn't first choice to play Frank.

The show's legendary daring stunts were co-ordinated by Stuart Fell who admits it was 'ambitious for the BBC' at the time.

Michele Dotrice recalls how filming on the edge of a cliff was 'a bit hairy' and reveals her mother's reaction when the stunt hit TV screens.

Classic clips and rare archive appearances are interwoven amongst fresh and in-depth interviews in this celebration of the BBC's much-loved comedy classic.

Presented and produced by Richard Latto.

First broadcast on BBC Radio Solent in 2015.

Ian McMillan - The No.219 Sodcast Project

IAN MCMILLAN - THE NO.219 SODCAST PROJECT (320kbs-m4a/64mb/28mins)
BBC Radio 4 Extra broadcast: 6th July 2026

Scourge of public transport and perpetrators of tinny sounds - young people are reclaiming buses and trains with their tiny mobile phone speakers and gangster tracks. The 'sodcast' is everywhere. But is it really such a menace?

Ian McMillan recaptures his own youth when he was ghetto blasting Captain Beefheart and sets out on Yorkshire's buses to unpick the sodcasting phenomenon.

Inspired by a bus campaign to exterminate the sodcaster, he meets passengers newly committed to giving up their music in public, and plenty who will fight to the last for their right to peace and quiet. In Hackney he rides with school girls who switch from tunes on their phones to self-composed raps about school dinner ladies, and visits the producer of one of the UK's most sodcasted tracks to learn the secrets of remixing music for the lowest of lo-fi reproduction.

But can Ian convince a bus-load of sceptics that sharing music is an act of charity rather than an assault on our personal space?

The ultimate sodcast is his plan, a 'joycast' of music to unite rather than divide. It turns out to be quite a challenge.....

Producer: Michael Surcombe

First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in June 2011.

THE FIRST TIME WITH... SERIES 36 - 4. ALEWYA (320kbs-m4a/137mb/60mins)
BBC Radio 6 Music broadcast: 30th July 2026

Matt Everitt presents in-depth, exclusive and revealing interviews with major artists revealing the pivotal moments and songs that shaped their lives and their careers.

Matt Everitt is joined by multidisciplinary artist Alewya to share pivotal musical moments in her life, including her New York murals, and her love for Moses Boyd and Little Simz.

Alewya is only one album into her career – her debut Zero landed earlier this year – but it follows a string of singles and EPs that stretch back over six years and encompass club rhythms, the energy and lawlessness of punk and her African and Arab roots.

We cover her circuitous route into music, her earliest musical loves, and the influence of her family. There's her love for Wyclef and Mary J Blige, and how the cultural eclecticism of growing up in West London, then later New York, helped form her artistic identity – and how a career modelling led her to become a visual artist, then animator, then musician.

THE FIRST TIME WITH... SERIES 36 - 3. THUNDERCAT (320kbs-m4a/139mb/60mins)
BBC Radio 6 Music broadcast: 29th July 2026

Matt Everitt presents in-depth, exclusive and revealing interviews with major artists revealing the pivotal moments and songs that shaped their lives and their careers.

Matt Everitt is joined by bass player extraordinaire Thundercat to share First Times, including how his father influenced his love of rock music, lightsabres, and Erykah Badu.

Thundercat is a bass player – but not just a bass player. He's a Grammy award-winning bass player whose approach, style and skill has shaped contemporary hip-hop, soul, alt rock, and just about everything. He's also a singer-songwriter and producer. His work as a collaborator is incredible, his own solo work is no less distinctive, and his own personal philosophy and approach to life is as unique as his playing.

In this career-spanning interview, Matt and Thundercat discuss his musical life so far. Touching on the musical influences of his parents, his teenage passion for punk and grunge music – there's some Suicidal Tendencies in there – his earliest live shows and how jazz artists like Billy Cobham changed his life… along with career-expanding collaborations with Erykah Badu and Kamasi Washington. All that and the creation of his 2017 breakthrough album Drunk, and wearing a Star Wars outfit – complete with lightsabre – to the Grammys.

THE FIRST TIME WITH... SERIES 36 - 2. BETH ORTON (320kbs-m4a/137mb/60mins)
BBC Radio 6 Music broadcast: 28th July 2026

Matt Everitt presents in-depth, exclusive and revealing interviews with major artists revealing the pivotal moments and songs that shaped their lives and their careers.

Beth Orton joins Matt to discuss her First Times, including her relationship with The Chemical Brothers, her love of Top Of The Pops, and chatting herbs with Kate Bush!

Beth Orton is in possession of one of the most wonderful voices in modern British music – a songwriter and producer as well as a singer – many people first heard about her on the release of Trailer Park, her first solo album in 1996. But before that, and certainly after that, her musical journey has been remarkable.

This conversation follows the recent release of Beth's ninth studio album The Ground Above, and we discuss Beth's formative musical passions, including her first gig when she was just 12 years old (The Fall!), and her first time on the stage. We discuss the Trailer Park album but also 1999's Central Reservation - which won her Brit Award and a Mercury nomination. We also find out about the friction she experienced, as she felt the music industry's expectations of her fell out of line with what she wanted to do creatively.

We cover her amazing Chemical Brothers and Andrew Weatherall collaborations but also Weather Alive, her brilliant 2022 album, which followed a six-year break and really saw her doing some of the best work of her career.

The first First Time season started in July 2010, and since then we've had 224 guests. And we've never had the same guest on twice. Until now.

Since we last spoke in September 2010 David Byrne has been very busy. He made Here Lies Love, a concept album and stage disco musical about Imelda Marcos with Fatboy Slim. He collaborated with Arcade Fire, Son Lux and Mitski and on a whole album - Love This Giant with St Vincent. And in 2023 he took part in the reissue of Talking Heads' famous and brilliant concert film Stop Making Sense, to the absolute joy of old and new fans of the band. Plus, and this brings us up to date, he recorded his 2018 album American Utopia which became an epic, and groundbreaking, 160 date tour and a Broadway show and now a concert film directed by Spike Lee – which you can see in cinemas on 5 August.

The Rise And Fall Of The Smiths

THE RISE AND FALL OF THE SMITHS (320kbs-m4a/344mb/2hrs26mins)
BBC Radio 6 Music broadcast: 5th July 2026

There are bands who split and reunite so often it stops meaning anything. And then there's The Smiths. Five years. Four albums. A string of hits that still sound like nothing else. And a break-up, in 1987, that's still raw forty years on.

If you're enjoying this series of The Rise & Fall podcast, there are loads of other gripping music stories to immerse yourself in, focusing on Britpop, Madchester, Indie Sleaze, Sex Pistols and Oasis. Just search 'rise and fall' in BBC Sounds, or wherever you get your podcasts.

A Tempo+Talker production for BBC Sounds. Produced by Tom Pooley with original music and sound design by Coach Conrad. The Commissioner was Will Wilkin, and the Commissioning Producers were Hannah Clapham and Jon Hillcock.

The full series is available exclusively on BBC Sounds.

THE RISE AND FALL OF THE SMITHS - 0. TRAILER (320kbs-m4a/3mb/1min)
BBC Radio 6 Music broadcast: 5th July 2026

Presented by Steve Lamacq and Elizabeth Alker and built entirely from the BBC archive, this eight-part series goes back to the very beginning: a restless teenager from Stretford, a guitarist from Wythenshawe with a cassette under his arm, and the five extraordinary years that followed.
How did it all go so right? And how did it go so wrong?

THE RISE AND FALL OF THE SMITHS - 1. IT'S TIME THE TALE WERE TOLD (320kbs-m4a/36mb/15mins)
BBC Radio 6 Music broadcast: 5th July 2026

For nearly four decades, one question has followed The Smiths: why won't they get back together? Steve Lamacq and Elizabeth Alker set out to find answers, starting at the very beginning.

Before the anthems and the adulation, there was a restless, isolated teenager from Stretford who haunted Factory Records gigs with a notepad, lost himself in Oscar Wilde and kitchen-sink cinema, and harboured one apparently impossible ambition: becoming a pop star.

Almost everyone who knew him thought it was a fantasy. Drawing on archive interviews with Morrissey himself, Steve and Elizabeth tell the story of the man before the myth.

THE RISE AND FALL OF THE SMITHS - 2. HAND IN GLOVE (320kbs-m4a/38mb/16mins)
BBC Radio 6 Music broadcast: 5th July 2026

In May 1982, a young guitarist with ambitions to form his very own Mancunian Rolling Stones found himself on a bus to Stretford, cassette in hand, and a hunch about the right frontman.

Johnny Marr and Morrissey seemed like opposites. But they had Irish roots, Manchester streets, a love of 60s pop, and an unstoppable sense of purpose in common. From that first afternoon bonding over records, the chemistry was instant.

Then came a drummer on mushrooms, a bass player dragged in from a lumber yard, and the band's first unforgettable gig, with a go-go dancer thrown in for good measure.

THE RISE AND FALL OF THE SMITHS - 3. YOU’VE GOT EVERYTHING NOW (320kbs-m4a/45mb/19mins)
BBC Radio 6 Music broadcast: 5th July 2026

24 November 1983: The Smiths take the stage on Top of the Pops, and everything changes.

In just four relentless years, the band scored hit after hit, filled venues the length and breadth of the country, and inspired a devotion that bordered on the religious, fans storming the stage at every turn.

But for all the euphoria, the pace was punishing. The cracks were already beginning to show.

The archive tells the story of The Smiths at the height of their powers.

THE RISE AND FALL OF THE SMITHS - 4. THIS NIGHT HAS OPENED MY EYES (320kbs-m4a/39mb/16mins)
BBC Radio 6 Music broadcast: 5th July 2026

New Year's Eve 1983: The Smiths take the stage in New York for their American debut. The band are barely in their twenties. Their manager is nowhere to be found. Someone falls off the stage. Welcome to America.

As the touring schedule grew ever more relentless, so did the excess. And as the rest of the band embraced the rock and roll lifestyle on the road, the distance between them and Morrissey quietly grew.

Meanwhile, bassist Andy Rourke was battling a personal crisis that had followed him since his teens - one that would eventually cost him his place in the band.

The hedonism, the chaos, and the fractures begin to tear at the fabric of the Smiths.

THE RISE AND FALL OF THE SMITHS - 5. MONEY CHANGES EVERYTHING (320kbs-m4a/46mb/19mins)
BBC Radio 6 Music broadcast: 5th July 2026

How do you find a record deal? Grab a label boss by the sleeve in a loading bay, as a teenage Johnny Marr discovered.

This episode tells the story of The Smiths' first manager, Manchester trouser-shop owner Joe Moss, and the signing of a Rough Trade deal that helped birth British indie as we know it. But when only two names ended up on the contract, and a verbal understanding about money was never put in writing, the seeds of a far longer drama were sown.

Archive testimony from the band and their inner circle unpicks the business decisions behind the music, and asks why things went so badly wrong.

THE RISE AND FALL OF THE SMITHS - 6. BIGMOUTH STRIKES AGAIN (320kbs-m4a/50mb/21mins)
BBC Radio 6 Music broadcast: 5th July 2026

No one could accuse Morrissey of playing it safe. Two early singles drew headlines for deeply sensitive reasons. A comment about the Brighton bombing left Fleet Street incandescent. And then there was Meat Is Murder: the album that shot to number one.

But as the tabloids obsessed over every word, a very different tension was building behind the scenes. One that archive testimony from the band and their inner circle reveals in remarkable detail.

THE RISE AND FALL OF THE SMITHS - 7. I KNOW IT'S OVER (320kbs-m4a/41mb/17mins)
BBC Radio 6 Music broadcast: 5th July 2026

They were recording what would turn out to be their final album, and by all accounts Strangeways, Here We Come was going remarkably well. Laughter, in-jokes, and some of the best music The Smiths ever made.

But beneath the surface, Johnny Marr had reached his limit. Five relentless years without a holiday, without a proper manager, and without any resolution to the tensions quietly pulling the band apart. Something had to give.

Spring 1987: the four of them sit down in a fish and chip shop in Notting Hill, and Johnny drops a bombshell.

The story of The Smiths' break-up, in the words of the band and the people who watched it unfold.

THE RISE AND FALL OF THE SMITHS - 8. A LIGHT THAT NEVER GOES OUT (320kbs-m4a/47mb/20mins)
BBC Radio 6 Music broadcast: 5th July 2026

The band was over. But the drama wasn't. In the years after The Smiths split, the financial fallout left some members struggling. Eventually, the four of them found themselves reunited, not on stage, but in a London courtroom.

Joyce versus Morrissey and Others.

This final episode traces the aftermath: the court case that divided old friends, the careers that followed, the glimmer of a reunion that never quite materialised, and the death of beloved bass player Andy Rourke in 2023.

Through archive testimony and the words of the band themselves, Steve and Elizabeth ask: what is the true legacy of The Smiths? And is there any chance, even now, that the story isn't quite over yet?

THIS CULTURAL LIFE - 165. RAY WINSTONE (320kbs-m4a/98mb/43mins)
BBC Radio 4 broadcast: 10th September 2026

Actor Ray Winstone talks to John Wilson about his formative cultural influences and inspirations. A schoolboy boxing champion, he built a reputation playing tough, working class characters after being cast in the borstal drama Scum at the age of 17. Winstone won huge acclaim for his performance as an alcoholic abusive husband in the film Nil By Mouth, directed by Gary Oldman, and Jonathan Glazer's Sexy Beast in which he played a bank robber forced out of retirement. Other big screen roles include the Martin Scorsese gangland drama The Departed, and Anthony Mingehella's American civil war film Cold Mountain. On television, he's played Henry the Eighth, Magwitch in Great Expectations and most recently, an imprisoned crime boss in the Netflix series The Gentlemen.
