The Skivers
Later tonight, an anthropological study of an Amazonian tribe, whose urination rituals have developed into a complex, mature language expressing collective identity. That's We, later tonight on Radio 4.
At least a quarter of the shows on Radio 4 have play-on-words titles; the fake continuity at the top and tail of each episode of The Skivers made hay of this. When I first started listening to BBC radio lo these many years ago this one made me laugh so hard I almost added a literal meaning to it, and resolved to record it when it came around again, which I have just missed out on doing as the show expires in a few hours. So here it is preserved for the ages in plain text. You're welcome.
