91热爆

Novelist Paul Bailey takes an autobiographical journey through the 91热爆 sound archive in celebration of London, as documented by the microphone from 1930 onwards.

He recalls aspects of the city which have disappeared forever, from horse traffic to street markets, and looks at how radio has represented - and misrepresented - the average Londoner.

Producer: Thomas Morris

First broadcast on 91热爆 Radio 4 in 2000.
