You're about to listen to a BBC podcast and trust me you'll get there in a moment but if you're a comedy fan

I'd really like to tell you a bit about what we do. I'm Julie Mackenzie and I commission comedy

podcast at the BBC. It's a bit of a dream job really.

Comedy is a fantastic joyous thing to do because really you're making people laugh,

making people's days a bit better, helping them process, all manner of things.

But you know I also know that comedy is really

subjective and everyone has different tastes so we've got a huge range of comedy on offer

from satire to silly shocking to soothing profound to just general pratting about. So if you

fancy a laugh, find your next comedy at BBC Sounds.

BBC Sounds, Music, radio podcasts.

In amongst the noise and hubbub of Central London, where bright billboards flash and shoppers

bustle in Piccadilly Circus.

There stands a statue of a winged figure.

You might have seen him, a god, poised on one foot, bent slightly,

with bow in one hand and arrow in the other.

He was encased by a snow globe a few Christmases ago,

and Teros, the God of requited love.

But have you ever taken a closer look?

Read the inscription below it.

It says the statue is dedicated to a man who, during a public life of half a century, devoted

the influence of his station, the strong sympathies of his heart, and the great powers of

his mind to honouring God by serving his fellow men, an example to his order, a blessing to his people, and a name to be by them gratefully remembered.
