Why the spoof radio game Mornington Crescent is called Mornington Crescent

As I said, I assumed Mornington Crescent was chosen at random as the station at the centre of the new spoof game. But, this morning, former TV & radio announcer/presenter and so much more Keith Martin told me this was not the case. "The show used to be recorded at what was then the BBC's Camden Palace Theatre," he told me, "which, as you know, was directly opposite Mornington Crescent tube station. I used to go and watch it being recorded there. So it was the station everyone coming to the show arrived at."

When is a listing not a listing? When it's a gag...

Let's face it, Radio Times billings are supposed to tell you what a programme is about, who is in it, when it's on, and that kind of useful information. But sometimes, they veer off course...
