Matthew Bannister on Neil Armstrong, Carlo Curley, Meles Zenawi and Phyllis Diller

Fri, 31 Aug 12

Radio 4's obituary1 programme, marking the lives of significant figures who have died recently. This week, the first man to set foot on the moon, Neil Armstrong. We hear the story of that historic voyage plus his classmates at school, his fellow Korean war pilot and the Professor who taught alongside him after he left NASA. Also: the flamboyant2 Carlo Curley who made it his mission to bring organ music to the widest possible audience. Meles Zenawi, Prime Minister of Ethiopia, once a darling of the West, he lost international support after his violent crackdown on the opposition3. And Phyllis Diller, said to be America's first female stand-up comedian4.
