Radio 4 has gone to the dogs.

[Life Saab Itch]

Utter utter fking ery.

What the fking juddering ing fk was Radio fking 4 fking playing from 2 until 3?

fking complete fking ery. fking global fking ing fking warming lying ing fking warmist fking bastardised agenda.

Piss boiling fking george ing monbiot, what a fking . A fking Carbon Buster, buster more like.

Carbon fking army? fk you, you complete and utter s.

Eco-quake, off you ing s.

fking hell, I feel the need to write to my MP about this abortion of programming. Utter s.

It makes bile rise in my throat to think that my licence fee has gone towards that anal prolapse of recording. Then they started attacking the car with some half arsed st science that they like tp shoot out of their mouths like a baby with uncontrollable diarrhoea.

Apparently, everyone, electric cars are totally carbon neutral. Just fk off you smug pompous asshole. fk off with your st science and your st radio show, you retarded .

Ffs, it made me wish woman's hour was on.

Things to do today:

1. write letter to MP
2. write letter to BBC to complain

And breathe.

[Freddie von Rost]

Are you for real?

[S18DMW]

That's some rant.

[Mr E Driver]

Good job you are not watching BBC2 then

[Eric Mc]

Upset by one programme?

Slightly irrational outburst, I'd say.

This pile of steaming turd.

Try listening to it on iPlayer and see how far through it you get before you begin shouting at the radio or throwing random objects.

[Pesty]

Ooh I didn't know you could listen to the afternoon play when you missed it

cheers

[Riff Raff]

It seems to be a play. Although if Monbiot is in it, I won't want to listen to it.

On the general topic though, R4 is changing and not for the better. Take the Today programme for instance. The only presenters worth their salaries are Humphreys and Naughtie. Evan Davies and Sarah Montague are lightweights IMHO, and don't get me started on that pompous tt Justin Webb. Bring back Posh Ed.

Then there are all the repeats. And the repeats of the repeats. Makes you wonder where the license fee actually goes.

jeez you can't win on PH sometimes- not enough swearing and you get done for a crappy rant, or you get done for going off the rails.

a quality rant- so much swearing that i'm not even sure what the OP was complaining about

[Eric Mc]

I heard a short burst of it and assumed it was an ironic spoof.

It was a "comedy" but the message wasn't being joked about.

About as funny as a positive result at the GUM clinic.

Oh I'm afraid I would have to disagree

I missed that thread, I think I was abroad at the time. I'd still stick by my rankings though. You may not like Humphrys, but at least he's a heavyweight. Davis, Montague and Webb, for me at least, add very little. Davis and Webb in particular demonstrate that there is a world of difference between being a journalist doing a piece you wrote yourself to camera (or Mic) and being an effective and capable presenter on an interactive programme like the Today programme.

It's also worth pointing out that the line that the presenters take in an interview isn't solely up to them - the Editor and the production team will have had some input into planning the direction and the style of the piece.

Didn't give the ginger Welshman an easy time this morning though

[Life Saab Itch]

Humphries and Naughtie are a pleasure to listen to. Evan Davies is good at the business interviews, Webb isn't memorable at all and Montague is there to tick the "has no penis" box.

I've heard this before, just listening to a few minutes will make you want to murder everyone involved.

I agree, utter, utter s.

I love it, have it on all day, only turn it off when the Archers theme starts
