Radio 4 can only be truly described as middle class in light of its failure to pander to popular culture, and as such it does not appeal to a mass audience, [although it has tried]. Attracting thereby an audience with an attention span of more than 2 minutes. In the era of the soundbite it is refreshing to hear programmes like The Learning Curve, From our own Correspondant, and especially the late lamented Alistair Cook. In the main it celebrates all that is good in Britain, and is a joy to listen to almost always, if it were to dumb down, I for one would emigrate.
