Pirate Radio Four

Pirate Radio Four

"Pirate Radio Four" was a magazine show broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in 1985-6. Part of the station's drive to attract younger listeners, it was broadcast during the mornings in the school summer holidays and was aimed at children of about 8-14 years old. It also had a sister programme, "Cat's Whiskers", aimed at younger listeners.

The show was particularly noted for featuring a new "Doctor Who" serial, "Slipback", during its first run, and also featured regular appearances by Sue Townsend's character Adrian Mole. The host was Steve Blacknell.
