Now, I have no objection for channels to exist for listeners to make musical suggestions, perhaps giving their reasons, to the producers; and for those suggestions to be considered and where possible worked into a coherent programme of music. The subsequent explanation of context of the particular piece seems to have more genuine interest than the mention that some named or unnamed listener requested it. 'And we have to thank Mr B. Britten of Aldeburgh for his suggestion of a setting of 'Down by the Salley Gardens'. Thank you Mr Britten. Before that, you heard JS Bach's Erbarme Dich, Mein Gott, and now we follow it with Bosom Buddies from the musical Mame.'
