R7 is our night listening.
Love the WS but I woke up several times to hear horror stories from people around the world and decided I would rather have fluffy radio at night, then real world in the day.

It settles in your subconscious at first then gradually kicks in

Wharton's The Age of Innocence is on Radio 7 soon.
Wow, I pay no attention to radio. I feel like my cultural world has opened up tonight. All thanks to Sandi Toksvig.

yeah but R7 repeats and several times when I was pregnant and sleeping badly I'd wake up to Sherlock Homes in different places throughout the night, I heard the end of one story three times in the same night.
It can be disconcerting when you wake up to the world service schools programme. Last week they were pretending to be dragons!

I must find out what their 'real' frequencies are so I can listen to them without the computer on.
I'm switching off Front Row now. Must find something else to listen to.
edit: hehe, Hancock's Half Hour
Did anyone else catch 'Horses'

I knew I always liked her.
Vintage - don't do it; you will end up damaged. There are more murders, rapes, near deaths from drug use, bankruptcies, marital infidelities and criminal acts, per 15 minutes than all of the television soaps put together. Add to that the poorly researched scripts and the whole improbability of such a place existing in the modern world along with the irritating voices of many of the characters and you have a reason to do something, anything, else at all instead.
Listening to the Archers is not grown up and it is not clever.
The 7 O'clock Archers opening is my cue to switch on Channel 4 News.
The Heinrich Manoeuvre is on at 22:00 and looks pretty racy.

News Quiz is vastly superior to The Now Show.

... is not for radio.
You don't need a TV licence to have a radio. The clue is in the name.

TBF, that wasn't Punt and Dennis, it was Mitch Benn. Although it was the responsibility of the producers to pass it despite it being, as you say, cringily ill judged.Punt and Dennis dont change do they?
The Now Show does have its moments, but that song about Gail Trimble the other week was just cringey, spectacularly ill judged.

The section you want is called "What your licence fee provides"
E2a. I accept the note about Mitchell Benn.

Yes, if you pay your licence fee then this does pay for Radio 4. But the fact remains that you do NOT need a licence fee to listen to Radio 4, which means that you can listen to it for free. People without a licence legitimately get Radio 4 free. Absolutely free, I tells ya.
But its not free if someone is paying for it though!
What's the rate of non compliance with licence fee payment anyway?
Note: BBC put evasion at 5.1% (I think thats Longdog)

5.1% of people get to listen to Radio 4 for free. There you go.
