BBC Radio 4
SU: 99 Words
11 December 2011
Presented by Liz Gray
Produced by Alan Hall
When Liz Gray found herself limited, forced into a strange period of
enforced retreat by a whiplash injury the following question came to her
mind: if you had breath for no more than 99 words, what would they be?
She began asking friends, colleagues, artists and political figures
she admired, in this pair of programmes we hear a selection of these responses, featuring the voices of:
Diana Athill Walter Murch Sally Potter Margaret Busby Peadar Ó Riada Robert Wyatt Scilla Elworthy Ken Worpole Garet Newell Keith Critchlow Helen Bamber Ariel Dorfman Camila Batmanghelidjh.
