It is also one of the most coveted, so there will be no shortage of
contenders to succeed Mark Damazer as controller of BBC Radio 4.
But how to keep track of who is in the running, and who among the
candidates is hot – and who is not?
With Media Monkey's Desert Island Controller, of course. It's like the

The higher up the tree, the closer we reckon they are to the top job.
If they hit the sand – they're out.
And the winner? They get to sail away into the distance, rescued by
the good ship SS – or should that be DG – Mark Thompson.
Expect regular updates. And lots of coconuts.
