The Long March R4

[eighthobstruction]

This was a three part series about the 1934 Log March in China....I did hear bits of all three episodes which I stupidly thought would remain as an iplayer package....i.e. all 3 progs available until the series ended....but know only the third episode available....seemed to be a fantastically dramatic and tragic event which still echoes in China now even though the harrowing truth of the March is not taught in China , only the heroic is taught.

....still the story in episode 3 was startlingly extraordinary....

Admittedly I have not tried playing them yet, but all three episodes appear to be available to listen to for over a year, here.

[Can now confirm the above. All three episodes at 130kbps HE-AAC, if "HI" bandwidth opted for.]

Incidentally, this March has just 19 days to go.
