"Today in Radio Recall Lucy Ash finds out how a breakfast show host helped to get rid of the former Governor of California and repalce him with the Terminator?

When the villagers show up, armed with minidisks and microphones, crooked officials dive for cover.

They don't want to end up on Parda Faash or 'Lifting the Veil', a muckraking expose on Indian community radio.

Their programmes have exposed many scams from unpaid wages to the embezzlement of aid money, to children being cheated out of their school dinners."
