Brian Redhead: The Today Programme 1975-1994

by Brian Redhead (Narrator)

Brian Redhead helped to set the nation’s agenda on the Today Programme from 1975 until his death in 1994. One of the great broadcasters of his era, for many Redhead was Today - ebullient, irreverent, authoritative.

Here is a celebration of that inimitable style, a varied selection of memorable excerpts in which the jaunty Redhead punctures pomposity, probes politicians, banters about his home town of Macclesfield, keeps up a long running traffic joke on the “Friends of the M6” and puts his unique stamp on some of the great stories of the past two decades.
