Miscue

Sometimes, it seems, the good taste and decency antennae on the best of journalists fail them. Nathan Turvey has a degree in media and journalism (2.1) from the University of Worcester, and has worked in and around BBC local radio for nineteen years. Perhaps it was a misguided producer who constructed the Sunday morning quiz on BBC Radio Leeds, but Nathan, no relation to Rik Mayall's breakthrough investigative journalist Kevin, still conducted it without dissent, as if it mattered.

The BBC has apologised, but it's not a good time for local radio to produce work beyond parody. Clip hosted by Radio Today.
