Devotees of Radio 4 have a treat tomorrow: one of the neatest and funniest spoofs I've ever heard on radio. The subject is Radio 4 itself, and A Day In The Life Of Radio 4 is just that - a typical day's schedule, compressed into 40 minutes with all our dear old friends and enemies, their funny little ways only a touch exaggerated. [...] It's not satire, which makes for hatred, but something more deprecatory and more devastating.
Val Arnold-Forster, The Guardian, 2nd September 1983
