Rough Cider by Peter Lovesey, which is being broadcast now on “Radio Four Extra” (.i. Radio Seven), is excellent but possibly not available on catch up as the link when I tell iPlayer Radio I want to share it seems to just be for “BBC Sounds”:

Uh-ho. The Men from the Ministry have been given two different committees to oversee.

I suspect there is about to be some hilarious misunderstanding.
