3:00 The Sunday Drama

The Lonesome Buckwhips: Aftermath (Part 4 of 4)

The final episode of the deadpan mockumentary.

It’s almost beyond belief that a family band from such poor beginnings could achieve so much on the world stage in such a short time.

In this episode we hear live recordings from the Lonesome Buckwhips’ astoundingly successful world tour – a tour that should have seen them set for life. But the Lonesome Buckwhips’ journey was less a highway and more a game of snakes and ladders. So what happened? What went wrong?

The Lonesome Buckwhips is available to listen to online.

3.45 The BBC reports on an ambitious theatrical event, marking the twentieth anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall
