Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

I'm disappointed. It's finished. No more. My Mondays will not be the same.
(By the way, was anybody else impressed by the music? Not just its oh-so-rightness, but also the intelligent way it was used throughout. Well done Simon Russell, I say.)

Yes, by the 'background' music; though in the last episode I was not thrilled by the person singing plainsong, who was clearly not at home with the idiom. She was presumably put there to illustrate that the place being discussed was monk- and nun-ridden. Did they all drop a minor third in 17th century Europe?

Stupid me to type 'Jason' when I meant Janus.
Of course he said 'Janus'. I can think of no other reason for his left-of-field comment unless he thought it was a pun. Look at the programme and see. Anyway, puns don't have to be etymologically watertight to work. (Mine never are.)Last edited by ardcarp; 08-03-16, 15:54.
