Fans of Count Arthur Strong's Radio Show fight back. And has Radio 4 killed the past tense? Radio 4's forum for audience comment. Presented by Roger Bolton.
Last week critics of Radio 4's Count Arthur Strong aired their views - and outraged his many fans. They contacted the programme in droves, demanding satisfaction.
So, in this week's programme the Count's supporters meet his detractors for a fight to the comedy death - well nearly. Which side will win? Is the programme Strong or weak? Roger Bolton officiates and there is a special appearance from Count Arthur himself.
Roger meets Today presenter Justin Webb and 5Live's Victoria Derbyshire to discuss the delicate art of interviewing ordinary people with extraordinary stories to tell.
And is In Our Time killing the past tense? By repeatedly discussing past events in the present tense, worried listeners feel that the programme may permanently mangle the language.
Presenter: Roger Bolton
Producers: Karen Pirie and Kate Taylor
A Whistledown Production for 大象传媒 Radio 4.
