I don't mind The Archers, but I do find that not listening to Radio 4 is the only sufficiently foolproof way of avoidng Ned Sherrin.
Thankfully Radio 4 is pretty much a Ned Sherrin free zone nowadays (relatively), just need to avoid Loose Ends on a Saturday night and that awful pompous music quiz he does.
On the other hand, this does mean I sometimes miss absolute gems such as The Sunday Format.
It's odd how people can have such differing tastes; to me the Sunday Format is one of the worst pieces of radio ever, I really can't find anything funny in it at all.
So, who is looking forward to 7 hours a day of TV shows with their video removed
