"I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance. Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone. The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately in England, at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever. If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and probably lead to acts of violence in Grosvenor Square."
Lady Bracknell The importance of Being Earnest

Some quite serious themes.

Originally posted by Dave2002 View PostWe quite like it too, though bits of it are grisly. Also the police seem to have inherited the ability (??) to go it alone, split up, and go into places without backup, and this lot aren’t even armed.

Originally posted by johncorrigan View PostYeah, Dave, funny that they do that. In 'DNA', the female cop had a habit of going into ridiculous situations alone and then, (spoiler alert), getting hit over the head with a shovel or the like! You'd think they'd learn!

Early in the series yet (2 episodes in) but... yes!
Good stuff otherwise though, shall certainly continue."...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.

Barenboim On Beethoven: The Lost Tapes
In 1970, to mark the 200th anniversary of Ludwig van Beethoven’s birth, conductor and pianist Daniel Barenboim recorded 13 episodes about the man and his music at London’s Roundhouse Theatre. This two-hour compilation includes some of the best moments, while the full 13 episodes (which have never been broadcast in the UK before) can be viewed on More4 after the film. Barenboim plays extracts at the piano and discusses the late, great composer’s compositions.
When can I watch them and on what channel?
Barenboim On Beethoven: The Lost Tapes will air on Channel 4 HD (CH 104/141) on Saturday 19 December. It is also available in Apps & Games > All 4.
Barenboim On Beethoven episodes 1-13 will air on More4/HD (CH 147/195) on Saturday 19 December. They are also available in Apps & Games > All 4.

Re Barenboim on Beethoven, the crucial point to note seems to be that the 13 complete programmes will only be avilable on More 4, NOT on Channel 4.
