| 18451 | Colin | Edmunds | UK | I tuned in on the 24th April to BBC Radio 4 and the experience was dry and unappealing. I won't be so eager to wake so early in future. |
| 18452 | Mick | Murphy | UK | Why remove something we should be proud of? |
| 18453 | Chris | Enright | UK | |
| 18454 | tony | marshall | UK | Please keep up the pressure for its swift reintroduction |
| 18455 | charles | marshall | UK | I am very sad that A famous tune like that Is stopping |
| 18456 | Peter | Van den Bossche | BE | The mornings will never be the same again! Another tradition killed by the infamous gurus of "modern communication"... |
| 18457 | Andrew | Morgan | UK | It is wrong that we get rid of something that epitomises the multi-cultural traditions of the British Isles so well. |
| 18458 | Sue | Morgan | UK | The people at the BBC should remember just whose paying their wages! |
| 18459 | Lynn | Barker | UK | Outrageous attempt to modernise what has become a national treasure. Radio Four is an institution and its monolithic value amongst the fly by night stations who struggle to compete with it. The stoic longevity of Radio Four is bolstered by foundations such as its much loved theme tune, shame on you Mark. Just like bank branches and real people at the end of a telephone when there is a crisis I sincerely hope we come full circle on this one! |
| 18460 | Georgina | Kennedy | UK | |
| 18461 | ken | mcalpine | AU | Has the mother country gone mad. Be assured I will have to reconsider visiting the old dart again, following the scrapping of the theme. What will it be next- axeing the shipping forecast??

| 18463 | Anonymous | Anonymous | UK | R4 UK Theme was reassuring, that some things stuck around. And I enjoyed it too! |
| 18464 | Jim | Pearman | UK | You can hear the theme live in Kidderminster town hall on June 10th |
| 18465 | James | Beattie | UK | |
| 18466 | Adrian | Wilkinson | UK | I have only just realised that the Radio 4 Theme is no longer being broadcast. I have bought the CD for those early morning starts to liven me up! It's a shame that so many things of an "English" nature are gradually been eroded away. |
| 18467 | Andrew | Airey | UK | As a courier I find the UK theme a good wake up call whichANOTHER news thing is not ,particularly as the news will be repeated ad nauseam through the day |
| 18468 | Dr Ben | Knighton | UK | I used to listen to the UK theme every day that I was milking - the cows appreciated it much more than the later arguments! The predictable musical interval at that time is very pleasant, and there is more than enough news. |
| 18469 | Anonymous | Anonymous | UK | Please do not change the Radio 4 theme tune. I have lived with it for the last 30years and why change is it only for change sake. |
| 18470 | RICHARD | HUGHES | UK | |
| 18471 | Kristian | Gleditsch | UK | |
| 18472 | Robert | Jennings | UK | An uplifting tune. It's now much harder to get up in the morning! Get you act together Radio 4. |
| 18473 | Jim | Pearman | UK | The Wyre Forest Symphony Orchestra is so upset, that they have bought the music and will play it at the next two concerts. |
| 18474 | Alastair | Heggie | | |
| 18475 | Richard | Braithwaite | UK | |
| 18476 | Tom | Sharpe | UK | |
| 18477 | Torben | Sherwood | UK | It is barbaric that the so-called Controller of Radio 4 has decided to succumb to the PC infested nanny state in which we live! There is no need to axe the UK Theme to replace it with yet more news. Are there not enough news obsessed media outlets already! |
| 18478 | tom | chignell | UK | Out of date? i'm 25 and love it. It simply is a wonderful start to the morning. |
| 18479 | James | Powell | UK | |
| 18480 | Peter | Nadin | UK | Too late was the cry but I managed to get a stereo recording of the original BBC R4 UK Theme before the brutal switch-off date (The recording was from FM of course as R4 DAB tends to broadcast in mono to reserve enough kbps for yesterday in parliament !! Now there' sprogress for you. I have since bought the single which is well worth the purchase at £1.99 |
| 18481 | Roger | Darby | UK | The BBC Cultural Communists find a musical reminder of what is the UK too insignificant for their multicultural vision. They would bring on Reggae and a sitar. |
| 18482 | Matthew | Dietz | UK | Bring back the Theme - we miss it... |
| 18483 | Jen | Beardsmore | UK | This theme is very important to people when you turn the radio on in the morning. It should be kept. It is far more important than a bit of extra (bad) news!
Listen to people...the BBC belongs to the people of Britain and our views should be listened to. |
| 18484 | Stephen | Gray | UK | PLEASE bring it back. Go on! Play it when Radio Four starts if you have to. I'm having trouble getting out of bed without it! |
| 18485 | Gabriel | Webber | UK | A great piece of music! |
| 18486 | paul | warne | UK | |
| 18487 | Deborah | Smith | UK | |
| 18488 | John | Tiplady | UK | When I have traveled abroard it was normally as dawn was breaking. To here this master peice at that time, with an overseas desination - well - just reminds you who you are. |
| 18489 | Rory | Hamilton | | Despite only being up at that time occasionally, hearing the tune made me think to myslef "what am I doing up at this time?" It may have been sailing or I may have had an early flight to catch. Whatever the reason I found it a thoroughly inspiring piece and it made me proud to be british in a funny sort of way!, which is exactly why I think the politically correct mob at the BBC axed it |
| 18490 | David | Maciver | UK | Let's get this moral boosting melody back on radio 4.
And what do we get in its place? It seems we are given a synopsis of the daily papers!
This melody is part of our heritage and culture and as I listen to it it reminds me of what a great country we are. |
| 18491 | AG | Farrall | BE | |
| 18492 | Anonymous | Anonymous | US | Being an U.K. expat, I expected that England would hold true to all things English. How sad to lose the theme that has greeted so many for so long each day. I hope they reconsider. |
| 18493 | jackie | vincent | UK | Here we go again, something that is a tradition,English/British. ''They'' have to go and change it. ''They'' have to make it ''modern''...........Not ALL change is for the best. |
| 18494 | michael | saul | UK | why do we keep bowing to the pc racist generators |
| 18495 | Sally | Wilton | UK | |
| 18496 | Anonymous | Anonymous | UK | Banning these themes shows how a secret minority of 'Doo-Gooders' are trying to drive this country into chaos. The sooner the BBC is rid of P.C sympathetic slime balls the sooner we get our freedom of Speech back |
