Limelight
Delivery
The radio drama Limelight is broadcasted on every week on BBC Radio 4, the organization's main spoken-word station. Since 1951, it has been broadcast, and after being infamously sold as "an everyday narrative of country dwellers," it has been termed "a current drama in a rural atmosphere." With almost 62 episodes broadcast, it is a fairly new drama.
Audience
The crowd at The Limelight skews rather older, with a 56-year-old average age being a fairly significant majority. The target demographic for ABC1, also referred to as "replenishers," is mostly made up of 24% of the audience, who are adults aged 35 to 54. Additionally, the station's overall affluent slant is still evident; 75% of viewers primarily meet the ABC1 demographic, demonstrating how the Limelight's audience skews older and inexplicably has a 56-year-old kind of average age.

The programme I've selected is Limelight: The House That Disappeared. This is how Neville Presho's house disappeared. Nobody wanted to tell him what had happened to it, either. This amazing true story is told in The House That Vanished, a riveting new series from Radio 4's Limelight podcast. The producer, Conor McKay, describes what occurred when Neville Presho visited the remote Irish island where he formerly resided.
Style
With the introduction of a weekly contemporary drama series called Limelight, BBC Radio 4 hopes to capitalise on the nation's desire for cliffhanger shows like Line of Duty. The station is traditionally recognised for the long-running rural soap The Archers and classic adaptations.
The regular Friday afternoon presentation is part of the station's strategy to reach a bigger, younger audience.
Despite the expansion of catchup TV services, people occasionally still prefer "rationed viewing" and the suspense that comes with waiting for the release of a compelling series, as Jed Mercurio's BBC One blockbuster police thriller demonstrated.
