    When you want a good mark in an essay, do you risk taking the opposite view to the one you know your teacher or lecturer holds? Or do you take the bold step of arguing for what you believe in?

                I think you have just possibly provided an answer.

                Ian Skelly?


                And no suggestion in the Indy article that Ian was also on Breakfast in that magnificent, record-busting, ground-breaking quarter!

                      Just back from a relaxing 2 weeks birding in warmer climes my blood pressure just shot right up again on flipping through these two articles - the Telegraph one so revoltingly smug I couldn't finish it. As for

                      At breakfast time, when people are rushing around and getting the kids to school that’s not the moment to have a 45-minute piece followed by a long exegesis about it.
                      erm...is this everybody? What about the demographic that isn't doing that? Actually Penny Gore did not give us an exigesis, just played the music. This sentence really says it all. I thought, how inconsiderate of composers to write 45 minute pieces in the first place, without thought for what else their listeners would be doing whilst trying to listen to them.

                      And.....

                          This was good, too: 'Now, on the very rare occasions I do tune in, it's constant mindless chatter interspersed with well known bits of classical music, film music, news headlines and some idiot phoning in to tell the world how much his cat loves to listen to Mozart.'

                              And people believe it - it was in the newspaper.

                              But people believe it (and it sounds so intelligent) ...

                              In fact, when some of the people want to defend what's going on, they say such stupid things you can't believe they ever listen to the station themselves. Since when has the early morning programme played 45-minute works, followed by a 'long exegesis'? The morning programme has always been the 'easiest listening' most approachable programme. It didn't need to be made any lighter
