On my wavelength
Here’s the latest in my series on Collectors for the BBC. Phil Rosen from West Bridgford in Nottinghamshire has over a hundred valve radios. They’re beautiful pieces of furniture and have lovely rich tones you just don’t get with modern radios.

He’d just come off stage at the PSA 2009 convention in Marlow. His after dinner set was hilarious.
