http://www.radiolistings.co.uk/programmes/t/ti/tiger_s_tail__the.html

*Words and Music - Italian Fantasy (6 July 2008) and repeated (1 Aug 2009)

 Actors Emily Bruni and BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH read poetry, including works by Byron, arch-Italophile Robert Browning and EE Cummings.

I contacted the BBC about repeating this and they said as it had been repeated once already they would not be repeating it again due to the arrangments they have with the owners of the source material.

If anyone can help track them down I’m sure all Benedict fans would be very happy.
