Nic Oatridge joined us, heading off the launch of this winter season's "Hit The Piste" series.

Nic's website SwissWinterSports is a fountain of information for dozens of skifields and resorts around Switzerland and neighbouring Germany. 

The Gay Beggars - Basel University English Department's very own drama society - is in the middle of their current run of The Merchant of Venice. Three of their highly talented cast came into the studios to set the scene. Tickets are still available for some of the company's 6 remaining shows. Book now to avoid disappointment! 

And finally, listener and The English Show facebook friend David Heard won the competition for a night at the Hotel Krone in Lenk, Bernese Oberland, thanks to the great people at AdrenalinAdventures. CONGRATULATIONS from The English Show Team!!!
