The executive in charge of the News Quiz discusses comedy under coronavirus, and whether Just a Minute will return in the absence of late, legendary presenter Nicholas Parsons.
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 Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ';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 Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ is just as important.
