The first 16 minutes from the very first Radio 4 Home Truths programme. 
Introduced by John Peel:
"Hello, and welcome to Home Truths, a name chosen only when it became an administrative impossibility for programme planning to continue without a name. We're still getting to know each other in the Home Truths office: shy glances, apologetic dances like courtship rituals of some endangered species, that sort of thing. But we think that we've got a pretty neat programme for you nevertheless. Saturdays mean doing it yourself, or getting out into the country and maybe killing something, or going to work, or lying in bed, or going to the match (it's Ipswich versus Tranmere Rovers for us this afternoon). Until this morning, Saturdays to me would involve my getting up ahead of Sheila, and feeling insanely virtuous, walking the dogs, feeding the cats, and emptying the dishwasher. I once made the mistake of saying to her later, with insufferable smugness, 'Well, darling, I've done your jobs for you.' 'My jobs?', she started. 'My jobs???' Well, you can imagine."
