Pirate Radio Four

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pirate Radio Four was a magazine show broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in 1985-6. Part of the station's drive to attract younger listeners, it was broadcast during the mornings in the school summer holidays and was aimed at children of about 8-14 years old. It also had a sister programme, Cat's Whiskers, aimed at younger listeners.

The show was particularly noted for featuring a new Doctor Who serial, Slipback, during its first run, and also featured regular appearances by Sue Townsend's character Adrian Mole. The host was Steve Blacknell.
