I see DS is a fan. Current series ending.Love it.
Mind you, I have cheated. The weekend editon is repeated Monday.
Driving about with Mrs Nick on a Monday I have occasionally dazzled her with my erudition whistle:
Any other fans?
-
Not a "fan" but I do listen to it.

Somewhat too cryptic for me, mainly because R4 is on 'in the background' and I often don't hear it well... which naturally makes it even more cryptic confused:

I like cryptic. cloud9:

For Nick then...
What links dastardly doings in deepest Suffolk, the fourth planet from the sun, and a monument to Arts and Crafts; and how is the connection revealed by the work of a recent Nobel Prizewinner for Literature?

I am working on an idea about Doris Lessing rubschin:
Mars is easy
Doris gorrit in 2007
Arts and Craft Monument:Red House- MOrris?
Red Planet
Golden Notebook
The Suffolk one eludes me at present.
Artistic or literary?
Red or Golden? rubschin:
-
I haven't got the answer! It was from the last programme and, as I said earlier it was on in the background redface:
But... I think the A & C monument is the V&A Museum... and the statue opposite was re-gilded in the last couple of years...
Is there a detective series set in Suffolk?
I have a cunning plan... I'll get the answer off the iPlayer listen again OK cloud9:
Right.
Mars = red planet, correct
A&C monument = red house, correct
That leaves the Suffolk bit and the prizewinner. It's not Doris Lessing, although the team were going the same route if it's any consolation. Try a different year.

Orhan Pamuk won it in 2006 and wrote a book called "My Name is Red"
Suffolk I have no idea, unless it is 'Suffolk red cabbage' rubschin:

Bravo!
Apparently there was a famous case in 1827 ... The Murder in the Red Barn which occurred in Suffolk

I fear a couple of habitués might get this easily:
Where would you have found the following in a three-legged race, and all without a drop taken?
A storm-stirring sprite; what Jesus wants me for; a sans-pareil; a black leopard; and one who suffered for his sanity on a starry, starry night?

What the fuck...? shrugs:

3. Steam train or engine of some sort
4. Panther?

I am sure TMR will confirm that 'dropping' is two-wheeled slang for 'falling off'.

Well done gents!
Without a drop taken ~ no alcohol ~ teetotal ~ TT ~ Tourist Trophy

Been listening to the new series. Either I have got much much cleverer ( angel1) or the questions are dead easy. I think it's the latter cry:

The latter is certainly the most likely
-
If the last programme I listened to is anything to go by the questions have got easier. But then any question to which you know the answer is easy.
