Greetings from sunny Manchester (but only for the next few days)

Until RS's posting today, I hadn't noticed I only had a 15 minute download originally, so I'm grateful for the alert! ;-)

What is still odd is that if one browses http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/programmes/schedules/fm/2017/07/14 one can see that DR (as you said) was broadcast for ca. 30min starting 18:30 BST, but the link there again takes you to the same episode page http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08xcwz4
where it is (again) advertised as being only 15min long!

Me thinks this is a c*ckup on the beeb's end!

Agreed. I think when they realised their error they corrected the file but forgot to alter the title.

They should've created two different pids (or even two different vpids), one for the abridged (on LW) and another one for the full (on FM) version.

Hmm not sure about that. I can't help thinking that if the cricket overran on LW, they would have joined the FM feed 15 minutes late, rather than present an abridged 15 minute version - after all, they wouldn't have known by how long the cricket would overrun. Anyway, I can't think why anyone would want a shortened version of the programme!
