Bill's appearance in BBC 7's "Comedy Controller" is scheduled to be repeated tomorrow (Sat, Oct 11th).  Below is a listing for the show. 

Please note that BBC 7 has changed its name to BBC Radio 7 (I won't guarantee how long it'll take me to remember to say "Radio 7" instead of "BBC 7".    The show can be heard online from http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio7/ during broadcast; it will be available from Listen Again (via the BBC iplayer) for a week after broadcast.
