Is Woman’s Hour too long?

Does anyone else miss the 15 minute drama serial that used to be tagged onto the end of Woman’s Hour? Now Woman’s Hour occupies the full hour, and I would gladly ditch the showbiz interviews, live music, etc., to have the drama slot reinstated.

No, if it is to be Woman's Hour that is entirely correct.
We already have one 15 minute "book/drama" slot at 9.45, a 15 minute "short" at the end of the World at One.
Not to say they are not good or interesting but I used to think it silly to have "Woman's Three Quarters of an Hour"

I think there is a lot of padding in the programme now, to fill up the hour.

I enjoy the 15 minute book serialisations which, although often interesting, aren’t drama serials. Those are what I miss.

Woman’s Hour used to be inclusive of the drama serial. That’s what you got for many years.

Sadly not the same nowadays. I don’t listen often.
