BBC 4 Extra To Be Wound Up Next Spring

The BBC has to find 500 million in cuts so some services have to go and 4 Extra is one of them.

I'm just surprised it's taken so long to make this decision - this particular service is little more than a repository for dead and lame archive programmes that weren't entertaining, funny or informative the first time around.

ITMA, Whacko, The Clitheroe Kid, Life With The Lyons and cobwebby re-runs of Desert Island Discs to name but a few dead ducks. Not good enough BEEB!

Only the odd Agatha Christie is worthy of a replay. But that's all.

I wish the whole of the BBC could be wound up. It should be defunded. It’s biased and outdated.

I love Radio 4 Extra. It’s a bit of sanity in an insane world. Be careful what you wish for. If we get rid of the BBC, we will regret it. In my opinion.
