Broadcasting House is a real treat of a show. Funny writing, really good journalism, big hitting BBC reporters – Evan Davis this week and host Fi Glover’s irreverent style make for some fantastic radio.
It’s a shame that when Fi is away (she’s away having a baby) the stand-in really isn’t up to the job.
Paddy O’Connell is a good Radio 4 host, but he doesn’t have the ironic style needed to present the show. Fi and Eddie Mair before her both suited the show brilliantly and bought it all together. Paddy seems to struggle when it comes to delivering the lines, it’s almost if he can’t let go and run with it. Come back soon Fi, Broadcasting House is missing you!
