Response by poster: oh, it was Radio 5 if that helps at all.

Idoubt it, and I've never seen any but you can listen to any show up to seven days after broadcast so you can probably dig up the news show you were listening to. Most of their accents are so plummy that you'll probably be able to verify what you heard fairly quickly.

but you can listen to any show through their website, that is.

The transcription service stopped when they starting putting the shows online, sorry.

If your looking for what I think you are. You can go to bbc.co.uk click on Radio, click on radio 5, then click on presenters, you will find Peter Allen and a link to recordings of the last 7 Drive shows

amberglow -- there's little doubt that this was broadcast on radio 5. Of the many issues surrounding the post and its content, this isn't one of them.

What? What? Everyone knows but nobody says?

It varies according to the program (mostly current affairs and documentaries) e.g. any questions still has a transcript of every show.

Response by poster: It's on the blue now. (if i could have gotten a transcript, i would have posted it myself yesterday)
