I'm So Not Over It

Little Dome: August 2004 (Olympic Marathon, EastEnders thefts and Bernard Levin)

Listen on

Episode notes

Comedy writer Gareth Gwynn spent August 2004 mopping up melted ice cream, Esyllt Sears spent it travelling between London and Cardiff and a group of Olympic marathon runnners spent it navigating the route of the 1896 marathon - although a (since defrocked) Irish priest had other plans. The interrupted marathon is one of the topics covered in this look back at the news 20 years ago this month - and there's a brief visit to 1963 as we remember the journalist Bernard Levin and a moment he'd probably rather forget.

Video of the olympic marathon incident is here and the video of Bernard Levin being punched is here.
