Attention All Shipping, Radio 4, preview I admit an interest in this Archive on 4. I read Peter Jefferson's charming and useful book about the Shipping Forecast and suggested that he put it up for a possible programme. I mean, surely everyone in this country has, at some time or another, listened to the Shipping Forecast, often at lonely and stressed times when you can't sleep or the baby has just woken up. How else to account for all those poets who fell under its spell? Radio 4 agreed, which is why we'll hear from Jefferson, along with poets and sailors and some unexpected fans of Faroes, Fair Isle, Cromarty and co. Attention All Shipping is on Radio 4 on Saturday 18 February at 8.00pm
