Trails only just before the news (if hourly), but best if just given by the announcer. I would personally prefer each programme to be hand-crafted with no clashes, like Eric Coates, Scott Joplin, John Williams tossed in between Bach, Monteverdi &c. No single movements. Short, intelligent introductions to the music.

The heart is obviously in the wrong place - I would love to know what the curatorial criteria are.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.

Mr McKinney this morning said that 'unless you've been living on the moon' you would know that the Oscars are tonight. This awful cliche suggests in one short phrase: (a) an assumption by said Mr M that the Oscars are meaningful to and valued by everyone (perhaps excluding lunatics ); (b) the cultural values of Radio 2.5; (c) a kind of contempt - no other word comes to mind - for the listener as invdividual; (d) appalling lack of taste.
