John: Welcome to On the Town with me, John. Chen Li: And me, Chen Li. John: Today we’re going to investigate one of the most famous London landmarks. Chen Li: What is it John? John: Big Ben.The BBC spoke with author and London expert Philip Arlor about Big Ben, and he’s gone out to investigate. If I tell you that I’m standing in front of Big Ben, most of you will know at once that I’m outside the Houses of Parliament in London. Of course there’ll be a handful of listeners who think Big Ben is a wrestler or a grizzly bear, but you’re the ones who don’t get out much. Just about everyone knows that Big Ben is the Houses of Parliament’s clock tower, which means just about everyone is wrong. Because if truth be told, and I do like a bit of truth once in a while, Big Ben is actually the name of the bell, which through the magic of radio and a piece of good timing on my part, should start bonging away shortly!
