52 Answers
Really poor this year - the idea that the Queen had a Zoom interview with Oprah Winfrey - no-one can have put much thought into that.

I've obviously missed a lot, but I would be very, very sorry if andy-hughes quit. He is always honest. Sorry, nothing to do with the post.
Personally, we got up a bit late and so missed a chunk of R.4 this morning. I assumed that I had missed whatever April 1st spoof they had come up with. I said as much to OH, who replied that he thought that all of the programme we had heard was a spoof! I think, on reflection, that he was right.

I cdnt tell the Times april fool if there was one
First I thought it was the Queen asking- are you chasing Russians to day
then I thought it was the two Italians who hired two people to islamically kidnap them and found themselves sold onto Syrian real islamists. Released three years later - after a real ransom I think
then I thought it was Di and a blue plaque
and then I thought it was the cressida dick look alike who was "in charge" of anti terrorism who popped up and said " I wasnt that bad
really you know"
and then I didnt know
and then....

Like PP I thought the joke was the one about the Queen, the Aussies and the Russians which I think was ‘written’ by a reporter in the Mail with a name that was an anagram of April fool. But it was repeated in the Times and the Telegraph under real journalists’ names. Were they fooled too? So, I’m not sure what’s going on.
The only Mai I know of is Mai Zetterling - I adored her in the late Fifties and the early Sixties.
Sadly she died over 20 years ago.

Years ago BBC show Panorama did a report on spaghetti trees - many were taken in, unbelievably.
In 2003 Richard and Judy reported on a new translator that you spoke English in to and it immediately translated and played it back in any language. Who believed that these things would be readily available less than 20 years later?

The best April Fool i ever read came in a monthly military magazine in the early 70s, which reported that the MOD were looking at ways to adapt the SLR (Self Loading Rifle) so that it could shoot round corners. Quite a few dumb squaddies were taken in by that one. The mag in question did carry a 'reveal' on it's back page.
