Although there are many websites devoted to classic TV programmes, this one distinguishes itself for its better than average design and layout and for the seriousness with which it approaches its subject and the level of detail it provides. The site includes broadcast information on UK TV and some radio programmes, giving credits and transmission dates (both mostly taken from the Radio Times), interviews, articles, news, as well as a discussion forum with some 300 registered users. There is also a link to the homepage of a related publication, Timescreen which is devoted to TV fantasy programmes - it includes web versions of the magazine’s articles. In addition there is a gazetteer which features useful details of other similar forums, details on distributors and like-minded publications.

This multimedia site is devoted to the works of the poet Wilfred Owen and required Real, Windows Media Player and QuickTime to access some of the content. Although the front page of the site is cluttered and unclear and can be quite discouraging to the casual user and can be rather off-putting, in general WOMDA does in fact contain a wealth of material which can be accessed through the browse page. This includes digital copies of practically all of Owen’s original manuscripts, many of his letters, audio interviews with war veterans, as well as a large number of video clips taken from the Imperial War Museum’s holdings as well as material made more recently, all of which also relates to the First World war in general.

Findsounds.com is a search engine for sounds. Sounds can be accessed via a simple search or by searching from sound types. Audio files can be downloaded as AIFF, AU and WAVE. Sound types are divided into various categories, including Birds, Animals, Mayhem and Nature. The sound files within these are extensive: for example, there are eight volcano sound files, twenty-five sound files of didgeridoos, eleven examples of thunder, and five kookaburra recordings. All searches link the user to audio files hosted by external websites.

This compact website holds dozens of radio interviews by Don Wain with a variety of authors which were originally broadcast by CBS Radio (Real is required for access). Those interviewed include Peter Ackroyd, Raymond Carver, John Irving, Anthony Burgess, Margaret Attwood, Maya Angelou and many others. Plainly but effectively laid out in alphabetical order, the interviews are all between 25 and 45 minutes in duration. The site is hosted by Ohio University and is a model of its kind.

This George Mason University site examines the accented speech of speakers from many different language backgrounds reading the same sample paragraph. Ninety-one national origins are covered from Afrikaans to Zulu. Details of nationality, age, sex, residence and the means by which they learned English are given. The paragraph each person reads has been chosen for containing most of the consonants, vowels, and clusters of standard American English: 'Please call Stella. Ask her to bring these things with her from the store: Six spoons of fresh snow peas, five thick slabs of blue cheese, and maybe a snack for her brother Bob. We also need a small plastic snake and a big toy frog for the kids. She can scoop these things into three red bags, and we will go meet her Wednesday at the train station'. The audio files use QuickTime.
