Media Talk: Overdosing on on-demand

In the week that the BBC announced it's cancelling Grange Hill, Matt Wells is joined in the pod by star pupils Maggie Brown and John Plunkett.

The panel discuss the success of the iPlayer, and future of on-demand television. After a week of woe at Wapping, we ask, who'll take over Ally Ross' column in the Sun? (Perhaps it'll be Gareth McLean, who fill us in on the transfer of Neighbours to Five).

Finally, as Woman's Hour presenter Jane Gavery accusses Radio 4 of having a middle class bias, we wonder whether the home of intelligent speech radio will ditch the Queen's English and start shopping at Asda instead of Waitrose.
