The Eternal Breakfast Debate in a New Place

[Radio64]

My memory is (and I've just checked some news items on the FoR3 archive) that Breakfast started in February 2007. But there's nothing before July 2007 because that's as far back as the BBC online archive goes. Check In Tune as well.

Right you are Frenchie .. I was just curious about the "summer holidays" gap too ..

In Tune usually goes off for the Proms, doesn't it? Can't think why Breakfast progs aren't there. Not that there seemed to be much information.

Hmm, I've just checked. Breakfast was on in August 2007, they just didn't archive it, then.

Well actually I was wondering where you got your info ...

Not from there - I just remembered they were there when Breakfast started. The honeymoon didn't last long, though. I also use the not very user friendly FoR3 archive, e.g. http://www.for3.org/news/for3news/Fo...html#Classapar

IS on fine subversive form this morning - shame it's his last day

(paraphrasing) "After 8 o'clock I will be running down the top 20 of the Specialist Classical Chart - I know - how exciting!"

Yes, caught the last 30 minutes. I do like his style, and the veiled irony to almost everything he says!

[clive heath]

... up to a point, but he's still complicit in the trivialisation of Fauré's " Cantine...." by over-exposure.

Then again, he may have won his spurs ...

Surely he must at least be "on the bench" for MH at weekends?
