TODAY’S RADIO

CAT DEELEY

10AM, RADIO 2 HHHH

The seasoned TV presenter will be making her Radio 2 debut this morning, taking the seat once occupied by Graham Norton and keeping it warm until Claudia Winkleman arrives as permanent host next month. Expect great chat and fantastic music, direct from Wogan House in London.

CORRESPONDENTS’ LOOK AHEAD

1.10PM, RADIO 4 HHHH

Joe Biden will be inaugurated in Washington this month after a fraught and damaging election. Covid-19 still rampages around the world, and economies reel from the impact of a global pandemic. In this round-up, we hear BBC correspondents’ views on how 2021 will pan out.

ARCHIVEON4:ASOCIAL HISTORY OF THE ARCHERS

8PM, RADIO 4 HHHH

Teddy boys invaded Ambridge in the 1960s, saboteurs have protested against the South Borsetshire Hunt, and addiction problems have been a running theme through the years in the everyday story of country folk.

Historian David Kynaston looks at seven decades of the Archers, and charts the many social changes that the fictional village has had to deal with.

JACK SAVORETTI’S MUSIC WITHOUT BORDERS

9PM, RADIO 2 HHHH

The English singer Jack Savoretti, who grew up listening to music from around the world, shares some favourite tracks. He opens his new series with music from Brazil, then takes in a great track from the Swedish duo First Aid Kit. We have to endure the ghastly Jacques Brel, weeping into his vin rouge and going way, way over the top in La Chanson Des Vieux Amants, but that’s followed by a welcome bit of cheer from Bob Marley, plus a wealth of good music.
