    If this was still the order of the day I would still be listening more or less full-time to R3 from 7.30 a.m as opposed to either silence or my CDs.
    The 6.30p.m. "Lifelines" looks oddly placed on R3 I have to say...

        Petshop played a rather nice piece of Rameau that I hadn't heard before, on todays show.

        Then he played Tombeau de Couperin(or something else for the zillionth time) and I gave up.
        I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

        I am not a number, I am a free man.

          Isn't that from the era of OU broadcasts?

            Yes, but I don't think that the programmes at 6.30 pm were OU as such - the OU broadcasts were 6-7am (VHF only - see bottom right of page).

            The 'Lifelines' strand ran through the week (not the weekend), and on that particular week the themes were:

            Mon: Home and Family
            Tue: Work and Training
            Wed: Language and Communications
            Thu: The Wider World
            Fri: Leisure and Recreation

            All part of the BBC's remit to educate, I suppose. I think at one time it was called 'Study on Three'. I suspect that it was a vestige of 'Network Three', introduced in the late '50s to introduce additional minority programming (another example of a rash attempt to widen the audience?)

              Thank you, Andrew. Very nostalgic. Makes one weep, doesn't it?

                  It'll do and much appreciated - will be added in gold lettering to the September/October listing.

                    Breakfast in another place - BBCTV Breakfast - anyone see the music for bird sh..e - looked like 4 hours 33 mins yielded little - did they not think of attracting a few more by using feeders with sunflower seeds?

                      And on today's Breakfast schedule -Hess, 'Ladies in Lavender' played by Nicola Benedetti - trumpet.

                      Versatile gal, no wonder she's so popular with some.

                              1812
                              Che gelida manina
                              Short Ride in a Fast Machine
                              Gershwin, Love Walked In (played by B Grosvenor, so all right - it says here)
                              I was glad
                              Academic Festival Ov
                              Gershwin, Begin the beguine (Liberace)
                              One movt from Mzt PC 23
                              Va pensiero (Carlo Rizi [sic] conducting)
                              Hummel, Trumpet concerto (one bit)
                              Bit of Haydn Wood
                              Bit of F Kreisler
                              Bit of Bach

                              and finally ...
                              The Ritual Fire Dance

                              All good stuff, mark you
                              THIS is one of the reasons why I do not listen anymore..........in fact, I did turn on B'fast this morning............THERE ARE NOW CROSSWORD CLUES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ye Gods and little fishes!!!!!!!!!!!!

                              During my very limited BBC listening for many months now, I have not heard ONE PIECE OF MUSIC THAT WAS NEW TO ME........

                              I still miss the BBC before the changes, it was so entertaining, now I just get cross. Sorry to rant but sometimes.......

                                Very versatile - it was only last month she was playing the violin version of the same piece on Breakfast.
                                It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.
