Richard Coles has done a lot of R4 work and introduced the nightly arts magazine programme when Artsworld (now SkyArts) started - with Tim Marlow. I think Mr Coles was once in a pop group, but I'm the wrong person to know which one.

The Rev does the R4 magazine programme that coincides with CDReview. He used to be more famous for his partnership with Jimmy Sommerville in The Communards.

Why isn't Radio 3 producing programmes like this?

In the Director-General's strategy review (2010)(I think it was?) it said Radio 3's cuts would include a reduction in 'music talks'. As Radio 4 still has a pretty decent budget (about 250% more than Radio 3's), it can afford them.

Ryanair to Leipzig was obviously a step too far.

Well, Ryanair's idea of where 'Leipzig' is doesn't necessarily agree with a map which shows where the city of Leipzig actually is.
