Cult radio, like cult figure and its audio-visual equivalents cult television and cult film attracts a band of aficionados devoted to a particular program. (For a fuller discussion of this sense of "cult", see cult film.)
A list of programmes that achieved cult radio status follows:
* The Archers * The Clitheroe Kid * Dead Ringers * Desert Island Discs * Dick Barton * Doctor Finlay's Casebook * The Goon Show * Hancock's Half Hour * The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy * The Human Zoo (radio) * I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue and the integral "game" called Mornington Crescent * I'm Sorry, I'll Read That Again - the radio precursor to Monty Python's Flying Circus * The Navy Lark * The News Huddlines * The Perfumed Garden * Quote Unquote * Radio Active * Round the Horne * Take It From Here, particularly the integral serial known as "The Glums" * Top Gear (a pop music programme, not the BBC car programme of the same name).
