All you need is the BBC radio player.

which is good if you only want to listen to BBC radio. to listen to other stations you would need something else?

It's free, isn't it? You can always uninstall it.

Aren't you meant to give this over as a gift at some point ?

I would have recommended aBBC radio 4 player, but they don't do a stand alone one.

Do you take all the fun out of every present you buy the OH, bet you even peel off the plastic, poor sod.:rotfl:

TuneIn radio is very good (in my experience). We use the (ad-supported) free version on my wife's Nexus, and I have the pro (paid for) version on my Ipod. (Using it on my Ipod was what prompted us to seek it out on Android for the Nexus).
