Default Humour in programming (BBC7): Marying the Mistress

Right now, BBC7, a satellite network that streams (mostly it has old
radio 4 comedies, mysteries, sci fi, drama, et alia and childrens'
programming) is carrying 15 minute readings from Joanna Trollope's
novel "Marying the Mistress".

I wonder if this is a mere coincidence or if some Broadcasting House
drone decided to have a bit of fun with the nine-to-five.

I asked by email if the readings were also going to be postponed a day
for the Pope's funeral and the respondant said he liked the question
but the answer was no.

By the way, they also have Westway, with Real Audio on demand "listen
again" and a weekly "omnibus" edition of Westway.

Look out for the schedule as it is GMT PLUS ONE. (British summer
time.)
