Eddie Mair and Radio 4

Eddie Mair is one of my favourite Radio 4 “voices”. He pioneered Broadcasting House (the Sunday morning review of the news, not the building), and his witty approach to the news is hard to beat. Someone has given him a blog, and he has put it to good use: here is a montage, provoked by the denied but still strangely credible reports of our Deputy Prime Minister’s considered judgement of US foreign policy, of Radio 4 announcers and news-readers repeating the crucial word.
