* BBC 7 (www.bbc.co.uk/bbc7) recently was seeking suggestions for shows their listeners would like to hear again on the station's fifth birthday in December.  Why not drop them at note at http://www.bbc.co.uk/feedback/ requesting "I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again", "Hello Cheeky", or other shows involving our favourite trio?  "I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue" is part of BBC 7's regular schedule and is one of their most popular programs, so there's no need to request the show in general (though you might want to ask about series or specials they haven't previously aired).

* Speaking of ISIHAC, according to BBC 7's newsletter fans can hear an extra episode this week this Saturday (22nd Sept) during "Comedy Controller: Tom Robinson". His selection is scheduled to include: Radio Active (19/7/1985) The Very World of Milton Jones (26/10/1999) King Cutler (8/2/1990) Round The Horne (15/2/1967) The Boosh - Jazz (23/2/2001) and I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue (12/6/2000). It airs at Saturday at 9am, 8pm and 3am and can be heard from BBC 7's website (the show will also be available for about a week after broadcast from Listen Again).

* The following update about the upcoming Linda Smith tribute is also from BBC7's newsletter - "In October, Linda's biography will be published. "Driving Miss Smith" is written by [Linda's partner, Warren Lakin], and a percentage of his royalties will go to Overian Cancer Action. On Sunday 28th October, in conjunction with the book launch, there will be a fund-raising concert, "Linda Smith's Favourite Things, Vol 2," taking place at the Victoria Palace Theatre, starting at 7.00p.m. The line-up of performers so far, for what promises to be a brilliant concert, include: Jo Brand, Dara O'Brien, Jeremy Hardy, Phill Jupitus, Chris Neill, John Shuttleworth, Kevin Eldon, Jenni Murray, Charlotte Green, Jackie Clune, Ian Shaw, Carol Grimes Band, and Ronnie and the Rex.
