BBC Radio 4 - Feedback, Covering the Royal Family, Law in Action and In Touch

Andrea discusses covering the Royal Family with Jonny Dymond and the end of Law in Action.

Andrea Catherwood discusses conflicting news priorities with Royal Correspondent Jonny Dymond, and the end of Law In Action with Joshua Rozenberg.

The BBC’s Royal Correspondent Jonny Dymond reflects on recent coverage of the Royal family and the Princess of Wales' revelation of her cancer diagnosis, responding to listener comments. And Robin Edwards who was editing Radio 4’s 6 o’clock news on the day of the Princess' announcement, talks about the dilemma he faced when reports of the Moscow shooting started to come through just ten minutes before they went on air. 
  
Also, we hear listeners express their views on the news that Radio 4's Law In Action has come to an end after nearly 40 years. Joshua Rozenberg who presented the very first episode in 1984, as well as the last one, looks back on the series and gives us his thoughts on why it was axed. 
  
And the BBC has reversed a decision to shorten the length of In Touch – Radio 4’s programme for blind and partially sighted people. Anna Tylor from the Royal National Institute Of Blind People gives us her reaction.
