A look at four recent quiz pilots from Radio 4.
https://www.ukgameshows.com/ukgs/Weaver's_Week_2026-08-02
Bookmarks, a literary quiz hosted by Clare Balding. Worked out of the blocks.
Déjà News, a recent history quiz hosted by Lucy Porter. Fizzing with ideas.
Your Number's Up, comedy and mathematics with Max Fosh, more entertaining than we dared expect.
Around the World in 80 Ways, a travel quiz with Simon Reeve, perhaps a bit too over-produced but the idea's sound.
All of them could come back; maybe there's a full strand here for the Radio 4 scheduler.

I don't doubt a lot of listeners hated JH's style when he was on the Today programme, but on the points he makes here, I don't disagree with him...

This episode of The Write Stuff is worth listening to just for the first pastiche.

🧵1/2: It's interesting a #betting company decides to 'out' #countbinface as the odds are slashed 9/2 to 4/1 he'll win the #Clacton byelection against #NigelFarage. The identity of Count Binface has been known since 2019, but still isn't wide public knowledge. I for one was surprised to learn he's a high profile #comedy writer, with strong ties to #BBC #Radio4. I can imagine #Reform going after that, but Jon Harvey remains handsomer than #Farage!

Interesting episode of More or Less this week, particularly factchecking the greenwash around the “carbon capture” from restoring whale populations (which we should do because it is good to do regardless, not for bullshit financial/monetised benefits).

End of era as #BBC switches off #Radio4 #LongWave service
First BBC Long Wave transmissions in the mid-1920s were on 1600m or 187.5 kHz.
A famous BBC programme tied to Long Wave is #ShippingForecast, a weather bulletin for deep-sea fishermen which became cult listening on land and now features on FM and digital, and there’s even a probably-apocryphal tale that nuclear submarine captains would once use its presence or absence to judge whether nuclear war had occurred.
