The worst thing about BBC broadcasts in Europe is the sheer volume of sports coverage. It is exotic for me to hear that the West Indies resumed 5 for 149 on the third day of a contest in Pakistan, with bowlers pitching two wickets apiece, not that I have the slightest idea what that means, but do we have to hear it every hour?
The Beeb does good features, though. One this week was about fleas. The reporter, who seemed terribly excited by his own topic, asked one expert off-the-cuff:
Q: Does anyone know just how many species of fleas there are?
A: No Gripping radio, really.
