Can't play BBC Radio 4 as part of a routine

I have a routine triggered by saying 'I'm going to bed'. Various lights turned off and my speaker playing BBC Radio 4. Except it doesn't, it plays a Spotify track by a band called Radio 4 or occasionally a track called Green by 4Tet.

If I say Hey Google play radio 4 it works fine, 

Everything is up to date, and I've deleted and recreated the routine but it doesn't change.

Home app 3.10.1.6

Lenovo Clock: System firmware version: OIMK.211005.001

Cast firmware: 1.56.285116

 

Changing to Play BBC Radio 4 on BBC Sounds doesn't change it either.

 

I've reset the clock and reinstalled home. Didn't help.

Update: the routine doesn't work when requested on a Google home mini 2nd gen.

 

However, if I change the Action from Play and control media>Radio

to Adding my own >'play radio 4' 

It works! So I have a workaround. Automation is still broken!!!

Thank you!

I've had such a rude awakening for the last couple of weeks and couldn't figure it out!

We can't be the only people. So I guess the band Radio 4 are baffled by the sudden surge in royalties from one particular track!
