BBC Radio 4 - Feedback, 04/07/2014

Debating climate change, Any Questions's slip up and is 5Live's Radio Bloke back?

Is the BBC's climate change coverage balanced? The BBC wants more women presenters, so why is 5Live bucking the trend? Plus, Sven and the art of innuendo maintenance.

This week on Feedback, Roger Bolton discusses accusations of false balance in the BBC's climate change reporting with BBC Trustee Alison Hastings.

Also in the programme, if the BBC director general Tony Hall has made a commitment to more female presenters on radio; two of 5Live's top women - Victoria Derbyshire and Sheila Fogarty - are leaving and are being replaced by men. Is Radio Bloke making a comeback?

Plus I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue and the art of innuendo and why Any Questions presenter Jonathan Dimbleby sent a profusely apologetic tweet to MP Chris Bryant.
