Paddy O'Connell sits in

Paddy O'Connell sits in for Jeremy Vine to discuss roads, mysterious explosions, migrant workers and animals. Plus another real-time journey through the events and music of WWI.

Paddy discusses the Β£15bn "roads revolution", mysterious explosions, migrant workers and animals.

Plus, we hear another real-time journey through the events, voices and music of World War One, going back in time to experience what happened after war broke out.

Today's episode is entitled Animals at War.

In 20 episodes from 4th August through to December, Jeremy presents events as they unfold. Listeners will hear breaking news from the continent and at home; he'll be talking to the 'real people' of 1914; and hosting round-table discussions with contemporary experts on subjects from rationing to trench foot.

It's sound-tracked by music of the time, including army marching band numbers, classical compositions, and the tongue-in-cheek music hall melodies that would have been most familiar to a 1914 audience.
