Things that are shit about Radio 4

[tangerinedream]

Thought for the Day. Patronising religiocentric bilge.


You and Yours, Money Box are just Interminably dull.

Quote Unquote, Round Britain Quiz, that music thing with Paul Gambacini. All shite. Maybe I'd feel different if I knew the answers. But that's probably who shows like that appeal to. Smug knowalls.

now Show, isn't brilliant but it's far better than I Guess That's Why They Call it the news.

The rest. It's the station I listen to most, even if it's not all to my tastes.

God, paul gamblecoki is so irritating my spleen threatens to burst whenever I here his smug knowing, yet ever so slightly surprised by things that are in the past tone
.
He was a mate of Peel though, so I can't completely hate him.

Any show which opens with the qualification that there might be language that some listeners may find offensive (so for Woman's Hour this will mean the word vagina is to be spoken!).

I love Eddie Meyer. He's not rude or obnoxious and he doesn't let people off the hook.

He doesn't let people off the hook because he quite often picks petty, irrelevant points and drives them home in an unnecessarily personal and rude fashion.

Amazing they could have come up with something even less funny than

"THE NOW SHOW !!!!"

- is it to do with the "Fringe" ?
