      You never know what to expect on this thread, but I read the last two posts and had a good idea …
      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.

        Carrying Lady Gould's bags - we had made it to Heafro and I remembered I needed to download the latest instalment of Joy in the Morning. After this I looked around for anything else that might appeal and there he was Skellers
        - indeed double Joy in the Morning
        - was this planned?

          Clementia Non Papa mentioned it yesterday: I think she said that she was doing something else today. BBC Young Musician sectional finals perhaps?

                Radio Times says it was supposed to be a Trelawday.

                Skelly makes ALL THE DIFFERENCE... the enjoyment seasoned with a continual subtle irony, such a difference from the dead-eyed, indiscriminate 'upbeat' style affected by the usual suspects

                  There's some classic Skelly throughout this morning's programme. His interjections whilst reading out a listener's reminiscences about being a Cambridge student in the winter of '63 (about 15 minutes in) for a start.

                  He's a one-off. Unfair to compare with, say, PT who in my view does an excellent professional job.

                    I am working from home and was elated to turn on Breakfast and hear Skellars voice instead of the whitering of CBH. More Skellars..... yes.

                      Smiley face!

                      I liked Skeller's quip about Vivaldi, although tbh it wasn't his.

                        Judging by his reaction, I don't think he thought it funny either. Nor did I.

                          'You see? This programme's almost produced.' Genius.

                            Yes! He's just about the only one who treats his audience as though we have a modicum of intelligence.

                              I do hope you mean ‘amongst the weekday (and some weekend) Breakfast presenters’.

                                Some interesting material by and about him to be found on t'internet, e.g.,

                                "...the isle is full of noises,
                                Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                                Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                                Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."
