Your views on the BBC Trust's 5Live review. Plus, are there more drama repeats on Radio 4?

Your views on the BBC Trust's 5Live review. Plus, are there more drama repeats on Radio 4? Presented by Roger Bolton.

A clearer focus on news and more coverage of minority sports. That's the order from the BBC Trust, which has just completed its review of 5Live. Do you agree? The recent audience research RAJAR report shows a drop in the station's listening figures. So we find out if listeners think the Trust has got the answer.

Are you experiencing a sense of deja entendu? When it comes to radio dramas, many listeners feel the rate of repeats has increased. Roger asks Jeremy Howe, commissioning editor of Radio 4 drama, if we really have heard it all before. 

And while From Our Own Correspondent almost always gets it right, should the correspondent have been reporting on a wedding so soon after an attempted coup? Roger talks to editor Tony Grant about finding the stories behind the headlines.

And a listener wants to apply for the job of Director General of the BBC. She says she'd spend the salary on programmes. What would you do?

Presenter: Roger Bolton


Producers: Karen Pirie and Kate Taylor
