Website image description: Peter White sits smiling in the centre of the image and he is wearing a dark green jumper. Above Peter's head is the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ logo (three separate white squares house each of the three letters). Bottom centre and overlaying the image are the words "In Touch" and the Radio 4 logo (the word ‘radio’ in a bold white font, with the number 4 inside of a white circle). The background is a bright mid-blue with two rectangles angled diagonally to the right. Both are behind Peter, one is a darker blue and the other is a lighter blue.
