BBC Radio 4 - Feedback, 08/07/2011

Fisticuffs on Today, fashion fever on Profile and Lord Patten's first public speech.

Presented by Roger Bolton. Including fisticuffs on Today, fashion fever on Profile and Lord Patten's first public speech.

Was the Today programme interview with boxer David Haye below the belt? Many listeners felt robustness strayed unnecessarily into rudeness.

Listeners query whether the fashion sense of Christine Lagarde, the new Head of the IMF, would have been scrutinised as it was on Radio 4's Profile if she was a man.

And Lord Patten uses his first public lecture to announce the streamlining of the BBC complaints procedure, and substantial cuts in the pay and perks offered to the corporation's executives.

Contact the Feedback team to let Roger Bolton know what you'd like him to tackle this series about anything you've heard on BBC radio.


Producer: Karen Pirie
A Whistledown production for BBC Radio 4.
