A Sky News piece about the rediscovery of some recordings of Larkin reading a number of his poems. These tapes are particularly significant because they include the only known recordings of him reading some of the poems from his first collection, The North Ship. Note how funny it is that the BBC producers set the old 1/4″ reel to reel recorder in various settings to match the poems. Very corny, but this is a good piece.
