We celebrate the 50th birthday of In Touch, Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 4's programme for blind and partially-sighted people, and ask if the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ is doing enough for listeners with disabilities.

Is it possible to give listeners access to the riches of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ archive - without releasing material that was deemed acceptable when it was made but is offensive now? As you voice concerns about Orwellian attitudes, Roger ask David Jordon, director of Editorial Policy and standards what the rules are.

And following a furore in the press Roger finds out if it's really no longer acceptable to use the terms AD and BC, instead of CE and BCE, on the airwaves?

We celebrate the 50th birthday of In Touch, Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 4's programme for blind and partially-sighted people, and ask whether the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ is doing enough for listeners with disabilities. Liz Carr, presenter of the irreverent podcast Ouch!, drops in on the different networks to find out what's on offer.

And a listener has sent in a play-let. It's set in a dark basement, features fingernail extraction, and stars a character called Roger Wright, apparently the controller of Radio 3...

Presented by Roger Bolton, this is the place to air your views on the things you hear on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio.

This programme's content is entirely directed by you.

Producer: Karen Pirie
A Whistledown production for Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 4.
