An outstanding example of psychic abilities from RJH Glover in the BBC One thread ... Watched about the first 30 minute of this week's Apprentice on Iplayer and after I found out that Empire had lost, I had a feeling that Norul would get sacked and it happened. Derek Acorah's going to be worried for...

I would argue that part of Radio 1's success is actually that commercial radio appears to serve a narrow audience. I'm not sure that that's true at all. It may be the case that there's less variety on commercial radio, but most commercial radio stations (other than the 'specialist' types like Galax...
