Twenty-Four Hours from Borchester



The Radio 4 book is full of both heavyweight information and lots of snippets of trivia about the best talk radio in the world. Like Nelson Gabriel taking part in an armed raid? And the affairs! Oh the affairs! I should listen more.

The fact that every one's favourite crib for essays ... er ... online encyclopedia ... has a separate article for Nelson Gabriel is quite something. As wiki covers the entire known Universe, it must contain such snippets for the obscure actors in soaps from all round the world. I suppose it must have a bias towards English-Speaking soaps - or even just Western soaps but just the sheer scale of the data within it is, when you think about it rather than just typing and clicking, just mind boggling.
