Well I never...

You have only a few days left to listen to Who guitarist Pete Townshend talk about the influence on his songwriting of Baroque composer Henry Purcell.

And tomorrow on 'Open Country', Queen guitarist Brian May uncovers the story of an Oxfordshire village captured in time by Victorian photographic pioneer T.R. Williams.

Extract:

"May has been fascinated by 3-D images since collecting cereal packet picture cards as a boy. He was particularly intrigued by a set of stereoscopic images of village life taken by photographic pioneer T.R. Williams. Further investigation revealed all the images to be 3-D pictures of the tiny Oxfordshire village of Hinton Waldrist, taken in the 1850s."
