Very much looking forward to listening to this episode. My favourite novel. How it is classed as romantic amazes me. Gets more disturbing with each reread. Heathcliffe is vile.

The Stone Roses were an English rock band formed in Manchester in 1983. They were one of the pioneering groups of the Madchester movement in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The band's classic and most prominent lineup consisted of vocalist lan Brown, guitarist John Squire, bassist Mani, and drummer Reni.

Underneath are four photos. Leonard Nimoy, Joachim LΓΆw, Bob Mortimer, and Rik Mayall.

RIP Brian James, the original guitarist with The Damned and the writer of their finest songs. More terrible news - another pioneer gone. Thinking of his family and friends
