at its worst radio 4 is sooo middle class pc and up its own arse ie womens hour, the archers, front row .
at its best it delivers brilliant, thoughtful and challenging programmes. it has some of the best comedy ever written. the news quiz, men in love (brilliant reflection of men, love and relationships). as safe as houses with marcus brigstock who is just so funny in everything he does. old harry's game - you will never see the devil in the same light again. 1966 and all that is just so funny but very british
on the discussion front -thinking allowed, it can be be annoying but never boring. driven by oil -looking at oil and alternatives. all in the mind, am i normal, gut reaction. all great progs
the best thing is with the web you can listen to the best bits of what radio 4 does and ignore the rest.
long live radio 4.....

I remember some of my old uni friends kept raving on about some of radio 4 shows.. I thought they were crazy... until I listened to one of the game show like things on there once.

Was very funny...but did make me feel like was back in the 40's or something.
