The BBC has provoked widespread anger with its decision to axe the UK theme, Radio 4's opening music that has greeted early risers for 33 years. Mark Damazer, Radio 4's controller, said the assortment of tunes from around the British Isles, including Danny Boy, Men of Harlech, What Shall We Do With The Drunken Sailor, Scotland the Brave and Rule Britannia, had "clearly served its purpose". But his decision attracted a host of complaints to the Radio 4 website, and some protestors have even set up websites dedicated to saving the theme. What do you think about the decision? Is the BBC scrapping years of history for no apparent reason, or should the station's controller be able to decide how he wants his listeners to hear? Do you think the decision has been made - as some have suggested - on the grounds of political correctness? Does the theme really represent a patriotic outpouring, or are the campaigners taking it too far? Put your views in the comments box below.
