That's funny, although it's missing the one of the best bits about Radio 4: the Shipping Forecast. For some reason, I find the late (0040) and early morning (0520) shipping forcasts immensely familiar and comforting. It's been a part of my life since I was a small child getting up very early for school when I had no idea what Dogger, Forties, Cromarty and Rockall meant. [VIDEO]

Maybe try the BBC shipping forecast? [VIDEO] I find the use of the Beaufort scale ( [LINK] ) gives it a particularly dry flavor...
