Good morning all,
There was an interesting programme on disability in comedy on Radio 4 last
night, called "Should We Be Laughing?" It was presented by disabled comedian
Francesca Martinez and used clips to discuss how disability has been represented
in comedy. I recommend listening to it, if you have the facilities to do so
online: I think this will work for one week, that is, until next Sunday night
(you may need to install RealPlayer if you don't already have it).
For program details, go to:

To listen to it, go to:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/progs/listenagain.shtml
This page contains all the radio 4 programmes you can listen to online: it's
listed under 'S', for "Should We Be Laughing?".
Meanwhile, I'm trying to figure out how to use this as an educational tool!
Will be trying to get a transcript, that's for sure.
Katya
