Radio 2. A pitiful shadow of its former self.
Radio 4. prime time programmes such as 9.00 Sat morning - Nicky Bedi - horrendous presenter. And all their prime time “comedy” programmes at 6.30pm with the exception of I’m Sorry I haven’t a Clue. Still funny AND clever.

Somebody must like that stuff, but not me.
Filling in the blank....

Radio 3 - Control given to the man who presided over a 20% drop in audience figures for Classic FM (source RAJAR). So what does he do? Tries to turn it into a Classic FM/Light Programme* mash-up.

I used to be a R4 fan (apart from rubbish 'comedy' and The Archers) but have got v selective about the programmes I listen to.

* Yeah, not even R2. Friday Night is Music Night? :shock: They'll be bringing back Billy Cotton's Band Show and The B&W Minstrels next!

"Real Housewives of..." reality shows.

You can watch a bit of season one of the Beverly Hills version & then a bit of season 10... & it's like you stepped out of the room for 5 minutes.
Altho tbf, I missed at least 3 seasons of Sons of Anarchy, then caught some of the final season & it was like I'd blinked.

Motorcycle based trikes. You can't filter, you're as exposed as you are on a two wheeler and they haven't the contrariness of a motorcycle and sidecar.

That said I can see them for disabled people who can't ride a two wheeler.

You must have learnt that you mainly have to shut up, unless you were asked a direct question, in which case you feign deafness?. (Doesn't always work because I can hear a packet a crisps being opened at the other end of the house).
