From a harrumphing John Humphrys to a painful Afghanistan-set drama, tell us if Jake Tapp's satire is on your wavelength
A four minute video by the comedian Jake Tapp is being shared widely online today. In it, Yapp condenses a day's worth of BBC Radio 4 content into four minutes, with a mixture of impersonation and affectionate critique. Kicking off with an uncanny imitation of John Humphrys being grumpy on the Today programme, the video rushes through Woman's Hour, The Archers and the comedy hour, right through to Frontline. Many Radio 4 contributors have been tweeting the video this morning, including Evan Davis, who gets a special mention at the beginning of the skit:
If you listen to @BBCRadio4, you should under no circumstances watch this video http://t.co/0nxDjxmBGR

Watch the video, and tell us, is it a fair depiction? Does Radio 4 comedy instinctively make you change stations? Can you not bear to listen to the Archers? Do you take exception to criticism of your favourite programme? Tell us what you make of the video in the comments below. Reported by guardian.co.uk 5 days ago.
