[edit] BBC Radio adaption

I've just added a bit to the article about the BBC adaption that's currently airing on Radio 4. Unfortunately, most of the references being part of the BBC's website, they may well disappear in the future. I got the cast list from the Woman's Hour Drama page but How I Live Now will drop off the bottom of that in just over a week. (Cast list also here but that'll probably go just as quickly.) The press release I've put in as a citation might last 'til January.

The Radio 4 daily schedule seems more stable - you can currently get back as far as 13 September 2005 - although there is the possibility that they remove entires after two years, two months and two days. Also this schedule hardly includes any information, except to prove that it does actually exist. But even if they have better longevity, it'd look a bit silly with all five days' schedules cited right in the article, so I'm sticking them here.

[edit] Ann Hulbert

I removed the clause in the introduction claiming that How I Live Now got a negative review by Ann Hulbert in Slate. In fact, if you read the article, the novel is only mentioned once, in a parenthetical note in the seventh paragraph, and nothing negative is ever said specifically about this book -- the article seems to be more a criticism of how books are assigned and taught to children than of the books themselves. 70.18.28.88 (talk) 20:18, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
