Station hopes to capitalise on success of gripping TV shows like Line of Duty with new drama strand
It may be traditionally known for long-running rural soap The Archers and classic adaptations, but
BBC Radio 4 is aiming to capitalise on the nation’s appetite for cliffhanger series such as Line of Duty with the launch of a weekly contemporary drama strand called Limelight.
The station hopes to attract wider, younger audiences through the regular Friday afternoon showcase.
