To me Radio 4 is about the best service the BBC provides including TV.
The weirdest mistake like that a saw was early one morning a female BBC1 presenter regressed to "BVSH HOUSE" style, and announced the time as "Eight hours Greenwich Mean Time".
The best one I heard about was a very young Home Service presenter saying: "And now it is nine-o'clock Greenwich. Meantime, here is the news"
