Adam gets out his hoofer-doofer (everyone else calls it a remote control) and starts flicking through the media landscape in search of answers for why no-one is watching or listening to the stuff they were just a few years ago.

And Danny Cohen, former boss of BBC television, and Helen Daly from the Radio Times talk through a new Ofcom report on what we’re now watching (clue: not so much terrestrial television, especially soaps).
