The first of the two omnibus repeats of my series, Chinese In Britain, went out last night on Radio 4 at 9pm. It was originally a ten-part series broadcast April/May 2007 and has now been edited into two hour-long episodes.
Next one is Friday 23rd May at 9pm.

Hi Anna, listened to it last night. Excellent and informative!
Ta very much, Noel.
Yeah, I too listened and it was very informative.
Hi, is there a transcript available for this prog?
Glad you're enjoying it, Louise.
Sorry, Andrew, no transcript as yet. But I'll pass on your enquiry to the producer.
