Knopfler on radio 2

Just listened to Mark Knopfler on radio 2 live playing romeo and juliet, a new song I didn't know and the boxer, great stuff, lovely playing and great voice.

Such a good player...he gets some sweet sounds out of that strat

Did he mention how “a pick is the best amplifier there is”, for the thousandth time?

I don't remember him saying that.  He did say the brothers in arms resonator is on its last legs so he doesn't dare take it out now.

He was playing one of his signature model Les Pauls on the session.

Is it available on iPlayer (or the radio equivalent)?

There's something on YouTube from this session I noticed the other day ( YouTube thought I would like it - it's like punk punk never happened!).
