Today's featured article

Much-Binding-in-the-Marsh was a comedy show broadcast from 1944 to 1950 and from 1951 to 1954 by BBC Radio, and from 1950 to 1951 by Radio Luxembourg. It was written by and starred Richard Murdoch and Kenneth Horne as officers in a fictional Royal Air Force station coping with red tape and the inconveniences and incongruities of life in the Second World War. After the war the station became a country club and, for its last season, the show became the chronicle of a newspaper, The Weekly Bind. Among the supporting cast were Sam Costa as the officers' batman, Maurice Denham in a multitude of roles, Dora Bryan and Nicholas Parsons. Singers in the show's musical interludes included Gwen Catley, Maudie Edwards, Binnie Hale and Doris Hare. Among those appearing as guest stars were Phyllis Calvert, Richard Dimbleby, Glynis Johns, Alan Ladd and Jean Simmons. The show followed It's That Man Again as the most popular British radio comedy and was succeeded by Take It from Here and The Goon Show. After the show ended, its two stars returned to radio in several long-running series. (Full article...)

Template:TSF Sunday Roadside hawk

The roadside hawk (Rupornis magnirostris) is a relatively small bird of prey in the family Accipitridae. It is found from Mexico through Central America and in most of South America east of the Andes. With the possible exception of dense rainforests, the roadside hawk is well adapted to most ecosystems in its range. It is also an urban bird, and is possibly the most common species of hawk seen in various cities throughout its range. This roadside hawk of the subspecies R. m. griseocauda was photographed feeding on a speckled racer in Orange Walk District, Belize.
