Radio 3: The Wire
"The Wire" tends towards experimental plays and innovative / new writing. So far as my records show, it began in November, 2000, and I think the historical listings for each year are complete. The plays are usually broadcast on a Saturday evening.
Very few of these recordings seem to have been saved.
