Subject:  Harry Lime/Goon Show

It's a program I have always enjoyed. The BBC is running a series of 8
eps on 4Extra, airing at various times of the day and available on the
iplayer afterwards. I don't know a way of downloading them in anything
but real time, but they are worth it IMO. The sound is decent. I don't
know if they have been cut but I doubt it.

Here's a URL to get you started:

On another note, they are also running Goon Show eps.

[ADMINISTRIVIA: I've placed some of these along with other Welles programs
BBC Radio 4 Extra is running in the Digest's Copy folder. I was a little
surprised to hear cast lists for the Harry Lime episodes, including Sebastian
Cabot.  --cfs3]
