15/12 no EMS, 22/12 no EMS

Look under T for The Early Music Show in All Programmes, children.

But, Uncle Guest, if you look in Radio 3 Programmes A to Z it's not there, Sir, and putting The Early Music Show in the search box does not work either (the little circle just goes round and round and round...).

Nor is it under E for Early, without the definite article.
Honoured Guest would have been wise to try first

Are you sitting comfortably, children? You're viewing Available now & Coming soon. Instead, I repeat that you should look in All Programmes. Just click Old Grumpy's link and then click the correct tab, which is immediately under the initial letters (A to Z).

TEMS isn't currently Available now because the last edition (8 Dec) was more than seven days ago, and it's not currently Coming soon because the next edition (29 Dec) is more than seven days ahead.

Richard, Sir's right, damn him http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/programmes/a-z/by/t/all - we obviously should have been paying attention during that lesson.

In my defence - I rarely use the Programmes A to Z facility on the R3 website and so am unfamiliar with the layout.

I went to what I take to be the R3 home page via the link on the Forum, which brought me here. At the top are "Featured", and the next section is "All", above "Available now and coming soon". EMS is not in "all", where in my dotage I would have expected it to be. I was not viewing "Available now and coming soon", I hadn't got to that bit. it was further down the page. There is another "All" in the same line as "Available now and coming soon". This is a different "All". This indeed includes EMS. When is "all" not "all"? The website is confusing, at least it's confusing me.

And less of the "children", please. Old Grumpy and I can't be the only dimwits in the country.

I went to Programme A to Z and seeing no Early Music Show under E where it always had been, I went to T as suggested/instructed/TOLD and found three programmes with definite article listed. No The Early Music Show. This was between 16.28 and 17.18 this afternoon.

I see now that there is a new (I think) programme on 5th January. So, that’s good.

RT's "ALL" is at the start of the block of initial letters and means "all initial letters", i.e. all programmes within the tab highlighted below. "Available now and Coming soon" is the default tab on this webpage, and so RT was viewing it when he first navigated to this page. The alternative tab, beside it, is "All Programmes". I agree with the class's opinion that this webpage is poorly designed.

I was beginning to think that either you were Roger Wright, or that you had designed the website yourself. At least we seem to have cleared that up. Your first three sentences make no sense. And do please drop the patronising tone, we're not your class. Enough said, as far as I'm concerned.
