A Radio 4 continuity announcer broods on the escalating disasters of his private and professional life at the same time as attempting to give us a preview of the programmes on offer in the coming week. Or what might be Radio 4 in a parallel universe.

There's a treat in store with the new series of Living By Numbers (about the numbers we live by), a major retrospective of the Volgograd painters' love affair with the colour blue, and a gritty and disturbing report on the Swedish milk crisis. And the series on Philosophical Logic continues to be appointment to listen listening. Obviously.
