The Radio Four Roadshow was a 1980s UK radio comedy series, broadcast on BBC Radio 4. The programme''s comedian presenters, who included Tony Hawks, would visit a different town or city in the UK in each edition. The running joke was that the presenters were trying to entice young people away from BBC Radio One, a pop music station, to Radio Four, a conservative speech-based station. The title of the programme was derived from the BBC Radio One roadshows (in which the station''s disc jockeys would tour Britain''s seaside resorts each summer, presenting from a different town each day). The show, very much tongue-in-cheek, claimed that the Radio Four Roadshow was "just like the Radio One roadshow. Except indoors, in the middle of winter, and with everyone sitting in rows".
