                  Are you sitting comfortably, boys and girls? Now fold your arms please! We're going to be listening to some music, written by very clever people! Debussy was a very clever French man and this is his tarantella. It's a dance for people who have been bitten by a nasty big spider. That wouldn't be at all nice would it? Can you dance like a French peasant who has just been bitten by a big spider? If you can't you can just stand in the corner and imagine you're a tree. Off you go boys and girls!

                          EA (the Breakfast one) has such a stilted delivery that I recalled the employee at a Yorkshire Bank branch was was reading aloud to me as a customer, when I was opening a new account. It was a case of "I need to read this out because you may be stupid, but I'd really rather not". I'm not suggesting EA didn't want to read out her script, but it flowed as well as a glacier.

                          Recently she said 'Younger audiences are sometimes put off classical music because of the way it's presented'.
                          I agree. Older ones are too.
