Bee in a bottle

Turned on the wireless today to hear the wonderful Charlotte Green getting the giggles while reading the lesser news items just after 8am. She had been talking about a sound recording made in France in 1860 and was moving on to an item concerning a dead screenwriter when, into her earphones, someone mentioned that the French recording sounded like a bee in a bottle. Oh dear. This is what happened. A totally brilliant piece of radio.
