| I believe Radio Four is absolutely unique and I would miss it terribly. Is there anything similar to Radio Four in New Zealand? |

Hi Helen,
If you search for NZ radio stations on the web you can get a taste of NZ radio.....not Radio 2 standard, or even Radio 4. In fact there is a station dedicated to Barbershop music which is a bit scary!

I'll miss football matches. I won't miss football hooligans. BTW are there "rugby hooligans" in NZ?  |

Hi,
Radio 4 is available here in all its glory on the internet.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/
Haven't you noticed how Nicholas Parsons always reminds the Just A Minute audience about the people listening around the world over the net?
The times of a lot of the programmes aren't convenient but you can always listen again.

"Rugby hooligans" ? I've never seen or heard of them. Kiwis seem to go to games to enjoy the sport rather than causing trouble.   |

I will miss the weather, the space, the silence, the lack of traffic, the freshness of the air, the feeling of security, the opportunities for fun. . . 
But seriously, family is all I will genuinely miss. 
But they will have the best holidays! |

All the corny old sitcoms on BBC and UK Gold. Don't think these are shown in NZ.  |
