My day has just been enormously improved by the second episode (alas, I missed the first) of Warhorses of Letters. It is hard to improve on the BBC's summary: "Napoleon and Wellington's horses exchange love letters against the backdrop of the Napoleonic wars."

I love all the names, Thunderclap Out of Storm Front by Death to the French and so on.

... who is introduced in the first episode with the disclaimer "sorry but it is his name smiley face!" And he has a natural quiff that he doesn't have to do ANYTHING to.

Is it the first time that sadomasochistic fantasies have appeared on radio 4?

There is no way I shall not be buying the CD. I am gutted to have missed the start.

I guarantee they have made an appearance in an Afternoon Play, potentially in a way that made them seem incredibly boring. Although possibly not equine sadomasochistic fantasies.
