As I've been denied the pleasure of having a clip included on Pick of The Week, I thought I'd share my email to them with you Gentle Readers.

"Listening to Open Country on Thursday while driving along, I was entranced.

Helen Mark ended up on Brighton Beach with keen children from St Mary Magdelen school who were exploring "the strand line".  One of them found a dog fish jaw. Then another turned up with a spider crab carapace.  So far, so educational.  But if you listen hard, as Helen says "spider crab" a comedy genius in the background sings "spider crab, spider crab" to the tune of the "Spiderman" theme. It's at 21:54 on the listen again segment.

I laughed so much I nearly crashed the car."

Marvelous! I have that as an automatic podcast, so I'll have to listen out for it :D.
