Dearly I would love to get my hands on a copy of this programme. Having written three times to the BBC, I have received no response. I would love to have this as a podcast or even sent to me as an MP3. PLEASE! Anyone who knows how I can obtain this programme - let me know!

He's sensitive in their interpretation. A rare talent to have when it comes to poetry. It's not just words, it's an emotion. Very well done.

This is not reading a poem, this is performing a poem. And I love the poem too, it's beautiful.

He reads the poems in a natural voice, which is wonderful. (Too often one goes to poetry readings to hear this weird sing-songy delivery that some poets seem to think is de rigueur for verse. Not at all!) But why, oh why, can't the BBC announcers pronounce his name correctly??? It's *one* syllable and it rhymes with "High"! Jeez-Louise. Goodbye; 'tis I who am high on Nighy.
