Mark Watson's Live Address to the Nation

Episode 5: Tolerance

Duration: 30 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 FMLatest broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 Extra

Available for years

Mark Watson continues his quest to improve the world.

As broadcast live in November 2011 - he invites the audience join in via tweets and messages to work out how we can all make the world a better place.

He's nimbly assisted by:

Tim Key
Tom Basden.

This time Mark looks at "Tolerance".

Religious tolerance, moral tolerance, not striking the person next to you on the bus because they haven't worked out you can send a text without your phone beeping every time you press a key.

It's important to tolerate others' faults, their little quirks, and their massive despicable crimes. But can tolerance make us into doormats, allowing evil to thrive? Probably. Shame, that.

Producer: Lianne Coop.
