Shandon Par Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Just clocked this thread. Radion 4 is now my station of choice. anyone who listens to comercial radio is an idiot. I particularly enjoy In and Outh of the Kitchen (not as good when transferred to BBC4 a few months back) The Film Programme John Finnemore's souvenir programme From our own correspondant Mark Steel's in town And various other documentaries. I like Francine's cutting one line reviews at the end of interviews etc. The Guardian's film podcast is okay too - grown on me a bit. Shorter, daily offerings. There's a series called Mastertapes - has the odd decent guest/performer talking about their songwriting and doing a few live versions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 More or Less is my favourite, not sure when it's on, I usually catch it randomly on the World Service in the middle of the night. It cuts through dodgy statistics like a knife through butter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I'm not sure how they got from the deliberation we heard to that verdict - The Bigoted Ghost of Nigel had her as guilty, Jack the Lad twat had her as guilty, Nigel Havers had her as guilty, Gobby lady had her as guilty, whilst Miss Marple, The Pretty One, the quiet one and the Sensitive One had her as not guilty. I wonder what the other 3 thought? ....they did seem rather set in their ways, are we supposed to infer that that they decided to go with their verdict after the Havers rant? I can see why Gobby Lady and Jack the Twat would change their mind during the discussions, especially as the stories of the jurors came out but the other two seemed too set in their ways to change course. And its a shame that in death Nigel has become such a bigoted twat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sounds like Elaine Strich but seems quite a youngish guy going by the pictures, and it is just a long monologue each week but it is comedy genius. Saw him live in Edinburgh last year, he told a story that would have got him pulled off Radio 4 where the punch line was his Dad admitting in front of the whole family to fisting his Mum in response to a question from David's nephew. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was the judge I'd be asking why Henry sounds a bit retarded at 5 years old. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, Helen has custody and The Pantomime Villain has supervised contact with The Jail Baby. Plus Tom wants his Nat King. Just another day in Ambridge! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drs Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 (edited) All of the weans in Ambridge sound odd, Brians b*****d had a complete accent change overnight and George was another who suffered from the sounding like a toddler syndrome until he was about 10. Apparently the actress who plays Helen has never met "Henry" as all his scenes are recorded separately and then edited in. The new editor starts next week so we should be getting New Ambridge in the new year, be interesting to see what they do. SOC came in and relegated characters such as Mike, Will and Kathy to virtually non speaking roles whilst Chris, Vicki, Nic and Jamie appear to have gone silent and also losing Brenda and Tiger (and thankfully ditching Daryl as soon as possible with one line of thrown away dialogue in an episode). Always fun when the new editor to comes in and see who they like and who they clearly aren't interested in - I liked Nic and Mike so hope they'll be back but I wouldn't be upset if the new broom sent Alice and Chris away and got rid of Carol, her daughter and Pip. I never understood why when he was recasting SOC never recast Will. Will is my pet hate voice in the show, he's just so monotonous no matter what he is trying to say. Away from Ambridge - the final of Counterpoint got me thinking, aside from the classical music stuff I reckon I could make a decent stab at a run in the competition. The Grand Final and they had a round about actors from Carry On films singing, would have been on that like a rash. Mind you I always think the same when listening to Brain of Britain.

BallochSonsFan Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Most things on Radio 4 are worth a listen. The Food Programme The Infinite Monkey Cage A Good Read The Media Show Feedback In Our Time From Our Own Correspondant THe Now Show The News Quiz Today and PM There are a few shows that are poor. Women's Hour is outdated and should be scrapped. Late Night Women's Hour is probably more relevent and there should be an equivalent late night Men's Hour to deal with the kind of health and social interests of men. Saturday Live is also utterly garbage, although the inherritance tracks segment is a great idea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daydream Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 More Or Less with Tim Harford is my favourite Radio 4 programme/podcast. Eddie Mair is some boi too. Think he might even be from Dundee. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pittsburgh phil Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Eddie Mair is indeed a Dundonian. Does anyone remember his 'Skirmish' style gameshow, think it was BBC2? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coprolite Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Big bump Jon Ronson's Things Fell Apart has been pretty good so far. Episode 3 is a bit of a tear jerker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
