Sound and vision

A tale of two dramas, both from the city and of our time but very different in execution. Déjà vu is the first bilingual radio play on the BBC, written in French and English, and produced in a new collaborative project between Radio Four and Arté, the internet-only TV and radio station. It goes out on air in the traditional way next Wednesday in the Afternoon Play slot on Radio Four, but the following day it will go ‘live’ on the internet on artéradio.com, where you will be able to listen to it whenever you like, and as often as you like, over the next five years. It’s a totally new kind of listening experience; not embedded in a moment of airtime but deliberately created to float in the atmosphere, available for playback at any time.
