Breakaway (radio programme)

Breakaway was BBC Radio's second regular consumer travel programme, the first being the short-lived "Away From It All", both run by producer Roger MacDonald. It was launched on 29 September 1979, when it ran from 9.05 to 9.50 on BBC Radio 4 and continued to be broadcast live every Saturday morning in roughly the same time slot for almost two decades. Its longest-serving presenter was Bernard Falk, who fronted the programme from 1980 to 1990. Breakaway finally came to an end as part of the extensive schedule changes introduced by Radio 4 controller James Boyle in April 1998.
