Talk:Something Understood

First broadcast
If anybody knows when this programme was first broadcast, information about when it was first broadcast would make an interesting addition to the article. Vorbee (talk) 18:52, 3 February 2018 (UTC)


 * The programme was first broadcast on 13 Feb 1995. There is a still incomplete listing of over 700 episodes at https://niximagery.github.io/Something-Understood/. Nick Hood (talk) 07:02, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

Coming to an end
I heard it said on BBC Radio 4 that this programme is coming to an end in Spring of 2019. If anyone can find a reliable source for this, it can be added to the article.Vorbee (talk) 18:56, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

This programme is still on
This article uses the past tense to talk about this programme, but the programme is still broadcast on Radio Four - I heard some of it on June 9 2019. Vorbee (talk) 06:41, 9 June 2019 (UTC) I also heard some of it on August 4 2019. Vorbee (talk) 06:39, 4 August 2019 (UTC)

I've just looked at the listings for three recent broadcasts; they're all repeats. It seems that no new material is being produced. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b083l8lx Calmeilles (talk) 10:55, 10 November 2019 (UTC)

Interruption
I'm absolutely certain that at one stage, many years before 2019, either Something Understood itself went on hiatus, or (more likely) Mark Tully ceased to present it, though he later returned to the programme. This would have been announced on the air, of course (I think I even remember the word "retirement" being used), but I don't know where any surviving evidence might turn up – perhaps somewhere in the broadcasting pages of The Times or The Daily Telegraph.

Removed from schedule
From the BBC Radio 4 schedule, it seems that the programme has been dropped. The final broadcast was on Easter Sunday, 31st March 2024, a repeat of the last original episode made by Sir Mark Tully in 2019. The | programme website shows no upcoming broadcasts.
