Many years ago – all right, in the spring of 1993 – I did my GCSE art on Sunday afternoons, listening to the BBCs Lord of the Ring’s adaptation (the 26 part version), or the afternoon serial. One such serial was a life of Alexander the Great called, unsurprisingly, Alexander. I didn’t hear the whole thing, and it was the search for a book it might be based on that lead me a year later to Mary Renault (it wasn't explicitly based on Renault, but it was definitely from the Renault school of Alexander interpretations). For the last fifteen years I have been longing to hear it again, and to hear the whole thing.

And now it is on BBC7 this week – at 11am and 5am, when I am of course at work for the first and asleep for the second. Oh, and my borrowed digital radio isn't working. I do not presently have access to Listen Again at home nor at work, although I shall at the weekend at my parents’ house. I do not, however, wish to spend 6 hours on Saturday listening to 5 episodes, following which I will miss the final one next Monday.

Technological flist, help me! How can I access the programme so that I am able to listen to it? What do I do?
