Radio 4

Reason for annoyance:

"The broadcasting equivalent of an old people's home."

About Radio 4:

Radio Four is a Great British institution, but surely they can somehow make it more interesting? Every presenter on the station seems to have gone on a course to teach them to speak really slowly. These monotone dinosaurs have a way of making even the most scintillating subject sound like a funeral procession.

The only lively thing they broadcast is the theme tune to The Archers. Don’t be fooled: the programme that follows the music is just as dull as the rest of the station. Third rate actors putting on ooo-arr accents is no substitute for excitement. It’s not even a substitute for excrement.

So next time you’re flicking through the radio channels, avoid this turgid little station like the plague…. You have been warned! Radio Four was once called The Home Service – I wish it had stayed at home.

FACT: Radio 4 is more irritating than Alistair Darling but less irritating than Mosquitoes

You may also find Chris Moyles irritating.
