    No, it's always been Donald Macleod

    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.

      I hear that the first broadcast of the Third Programme in 1946 was 'aimed at the alert and interested'. How apt. That's us!

        Well you, maybe, DaisyDog; I would only have been in my crib, pram, or mother's arms at that stage, and rather more interested in what was within my immediate tactile, visual and auditory range, which would definitely not have included radio - or wireless, rather!

              That's good. Now all we need is an advance playlist.

                PT is losing his grip. Too much Southbank glasshouse exposure perhaps.

                  What is it with R3 timings? They are getting even more cavalier with the news, often three or four minutes late. Yet when programmes overrun they still find time for another trailer, teasers of stuff to come, and that endlessly repeated one that sounds like 'Hell's Frontier', whatever that is, before continuing. Give us back the timing pips! Well not really, but as a serial recorder of programmes (and yes, I have heard about 'Listen Again') my endings keep disappearing. Painful.

                    He just needs to punctuate his script. Then he'll gasp in the correct places.

                        But that would mean wasting valuable trailer/promo/twitbook time actually reading it and putting in the dots and dashes before speaking it....
                        By the way did anyone see Britain's Lost Masterpieces( last Wednesday and another tonight)with one Jacky Klein, sister of SK? Apart from the fact I found it a thoroughly enjoyable and interesting programme I was also struck by JK's voice - very pleasing and a reminder of how a more measured delivery and lower pitch is so much easier to listen to than the hyperactive gabble that's increasingly prevalent.

                          Perhaps the last gasp? If only.

                            Hiya oddoneout,

                            Get her on radio three, JK has a lovely clear voice; as has her sister. I'm not sure about her knowledge of music but it can't be worst that some presenters I can think of.

                              She's an art historian hence her involvement on the programme. Ironically, the one criticism I have about it is the random and I think rather inappropriate musical snippets - perhaps sister Suzy should have had an input!

                                Are we to assume that CB-H has moved on? I say that, intending no "side". She can do what she likes, similarly offered with no side. Also, could someone enlighten as to why PT is called The Squire here. Ta in advance.
