Auntie Beeb - 02 December 2012

BBC Radio 3 broadcasts the service of A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols from the candlelit Chapel of King’s College, Cambridge; The Vienna Philharmonic gives its annual greeting to the world for the New Year with waltzes, polkas and quadrilles from three members of the Strauss family and their contemporaries; Lewis Carroll's fantastical story collides with Radio 4 in Stephen Wyatt's dramatisation of Alice Through the Looking Glass; Martin Jarvis performs William's hilariously inventive version of Shakespeare's masterpiece; Wisha, wisha, wisha. Playfulness, soundscape and oddity above the rustling leaves of The Magic Faraway Tree. A new two-part abridged adaptation of Enid Blyton's classic children's fantasy.
