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.

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 It’s biased and outdated.

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.
