Which radio station will play Big Ben's chimes at midnight?!
Question: I have in the past heard the chimes of Big Ben on the radio at midnight on New Year's Eve. I planned to do the same last year and tuned in to Radio 1 but was disappointed - a fantastic party going on but no Big Ben. I've trawled the radio web-sites but cannot find out which station will be playing the chimes this year - I need to be prepared or I'll miss them! I have a digital radio so can tune in to all sorts, would much appreciate someone telling me which station might be best.... thank you!

Radio 4, almost certainly; The World Service might; 5Live possibly.
Good luck and happy New Year.
