What is Non-BBC British Radio like?

I listen to BBC radio from outside the UK. Mainly R4X, R4 and R3, occasionally straying into R6 or R2 or regional stations.

But it occurs to me that, while I understand the TV landscape the BBC occupies, next to ITV, Channel 4 and 5, Sky, I really have no concept of non-BBC UK radio.

So what is the radio equivalent of ITV? Does it produce drama and documentary content too? I'm assuming not because I think I would've heard of it. And being commercial seems to mean only playing music and chatting.

Melvyn Bragg needs to retire

I love In Our Time but I just can't understand what he's saying any more. He's 85 years old and he's slurring his speech. It sounds like he hasn't got teeth or something. It's actually becoming a problem listening.

Years ago I found a website with called radioarchive or something like that with clips and recordings from bbc radio 4 and the world service.

But I can remember the exact url. Can anyone please point me in the right direction?

Drama - One Down. A mystery crossword appearing in a local newspaper is more than it seems.

Very listenable five-part drama concerning a struggling local paper and a villainous local property developer (from 2007). Plot and acting of Archers standard, but quite good enough for a longish car journey (2.5 hours).

BBC Sounds The crossword featured in the plot
