Evan Davis's favourite show? Air Crash Investigation

BBC Radio 4 Today presenter Evan Davis admits to some interesting tastes when it comes to his favourite television programmes. The former BBC economics editor told Radio Times that he was a fan of trash TV, although had gone off Big Brother. "Most of the things I watch are winding-down programmes," he said. "Comedies such as The Simpsons, South Park and Frasier, as well as the stuff you would call 'trash telly'. Anything like info-mercials or shopping channels. I seem to get completely engrossed by the different ways people try to sell things. I did used to watch a lot of Big Brother, but I gave up around series six. The early ones had a much better mix of people – they were, in their own way, quite subtle. Now, it's just like standing outside the school disco." However, Davis says his favourite programme is Air Crash Investigation on National Geographic Channel. "It's fascinating to note the parallels with other areas of our modern life," he said. "Especially the financial industry." Monkey looks forward to "tailspin" and other aeronautical phrases being used on the Today programme next time Davis interviews a banker.
