Click (previously known as Digital Planet and Go Digital) is a BBC radio programme broadcast on the BBC World Service and sister radio show to BBC News' Click TV.

The show is currently presented by Gareth Mitchell and with expert comments from Bill Thompson. The show is a weekly look at technology stories and news around the world.

From 2001-2004, it was presented by Tracey Logan and during that time it was one of the BBC's few webcast programmes, with cameras in the studio to provide a live feed.

The show was re-branded as Click from Digital Planet on 29 March 2011 to connect it with sister TV programme, Click, which is broadcast on BBC News Channel and BBC World News, and the broadcast length changed from 28 minutes, with first airing on Tuesdays at 12:30 GMT, to a live 18 minute broadcast at 18:30 GMT.

Other topics covered have included, among others:

Usually views sent either by e-mail, Twitter or over the BBC News website are read out and discussed briefly by Gareth Mitchell and Bill Thompson.
