Box 39 - series 3

Box 39 escapes from the present and returns to the past, to hear the voices and choice music from 1980.  A soundscape of a once familiar era serves up up a tasty and filling misty-eyed nostalgia feast for you to enjoy, whether you remember 1980 or not!

With Bill Lawrance and Adrian Coen

As Box 39 sits in its new location away from the studio, there are more shimmering messages from friends, colleagues and listeners about the unprecedented situation that a global pandemic has created.  History is being defined right here, right now...and with great music.

With Bill Lawrance and Adrian Coen

Box 39 has been taken out of the studio for the first lockdown of a global pandemic, and the show shimmers with contributions from listeners, colleagues and presenters, reflecting on their new lives at home, learning how face masks work, what Zoom is, and how far 2 metres is from the next shopper!  This is History with great music.

With Bill Lawrance and Adrian Coen

Box 39 packs a flask of coffee and some marmalade sandwiches, and goes for a day out to the beautiful and historic port of Harwich on the Essex coast.  We watch a tense local football match, and speak to players and the club chairman about the position of their team in the heart of their community, and we end our day in a historic and haunted pub!   And with wonderful music too!

With Bill Lawrance, Bob May and Bryn Griffiths.
