Good old Andy got that in early when guesting to trail the Panorama on his old “show” “Wake up to money” on R5 this morning.

Yes BBC discovers that incomes fall in a recession shock!

On the fivelive blog there is a post which proclaims this.
“Last week in the Independent Jane Thynne wrote a thoughtful piece about BBC radio programmes that you can watch online”
