The Friday Documentary on BBC World Service, August 20th

Radio Boffin




Gerry Wells currently lives with 1,200 working radios in the house he  
grew up in and still lives in - now Britain’s foremost 'living' radio  
museum. He hosts regular talks, workshops and musical evenings for  
devotees and followers. Eighty-year-old Gerry has devoted his whole  
life to repairing, caring for and making radio sets. His obsession  
with radio set him apart from the rest of society, but people have  
begun to appreciate his collection and knowledge. The Friday  
Documentary meets Gerry, a natural and amusing storyteller who can  
recall key episodes of his life in great detail, and who has remained  
loyal to his passion.

The Wireless World of Gerry Wells, 20 August
