Abstract
The Guardian assistant editor and former political editor believes the BBC's famously prickly inquisitor should consider retirement and comments: "When the familiar voice of Grumpy Humpy (my private designation) greets me it is often not long before I am shouting back at the set. Usually it is along the lines of 'You can't say that, John', or 'Let the man finish the sentence, John.' I realise I am not alone in shouting at the radio, a more intimate medium than TV; nor in sometimes wishing that Radio 4's national treasure should be reburied or, at the very least, dropped down a deep well to cool off."Keywords
