Episode description
Is there any point in Radio 4 broadcasting comedy programmes such as the News Quiz without a studio audience and with all the panellists in different places?
The executive in charge, Julia McKenzie, joins Roger Bolton to discuss comedy under coronavirus restrictions, and whether Just a Minute will return now that its legendary presenter Nicholas Parsons has left the stage.
And the BBC';s Director of Radio and Education, James Purnell, discusses the recently announced plan to improve representation of minorities in radio and answers questions from a listener who suggests that improving diversity of class at the BBC is just as important.
