The basic idea was to take short messages from listeners (SMS, tweets, button clicks on the web, etc) when they thought that someone on air was spouting nonsense/evading the question/answering questions he'd rather he'd been asked/etc (we used a more bovine effluent related term during our discussion but I doubt that would be acceptable on the BBC! ;-) ).

These could then be turned into a real time indication of listener dissatisfaction with the answers being given, and maybe displayed on the displays of the DAB radios, as well as on the Radio 4 website.
The problem here would be who would judge what messages being received are
in agreement or disagree with what is going on in the interview. Someone could say something sarcastically, but it would be picked up as literal, putting it in favor of whats being said.
