Was anyone listening to R4 at 8am?

tut tut, the standards of the BBC have dropped

there are some more slips here http://www.guardian.c...e-jeremy-hunt-radio-4 - maybe the word 'hunt' should be banned from the radio

I was listening - nearly choked on my polo mint! naughty Jim Naughtie :) He sounded like he was struggling to suppress a coughing fit as well, so he has my sympathy.
As a presenter/newsreader, whenever Jeremy Hunt is due to be interviewed,it must be in the back of your mind all the time.... "dont say c***! dont say c***! oops "

It wasn't a coughing fit. It was a fit of giggles. Made the whole episode twice as funny.

in that second link i posted it was naughty Naughtie who gave Charlotte Green a fit of the giggles

I was in the shower when it happened - I heard the 'apology' though - he was very grudging about it but I cannot believe anyone called to complain - this is radio 4 and we are all supposed to be adults
