HARRIET HAVARD
Despite having been an adicted listener to the Third prog/Radio3 for decades, have now all but given up on the station. Only time I click on to it now is to get away from the Today Prog, which has now, most of the time, become no more than a radio version of the Sun. However, after a few mins. of Radio 3- especially if the Playschool presenter, Pet Rock is gushing- I even turn that off. What on earth has happened to a once great institution- the BBC.

Harriet - my feelings exactly - I listen to COTW + evening concert + sometimes the essay - even the midday 'concerts' have been downgraded to a patchwork of unrelated items. R4 current affairs outside of the 10pm news slot has dropped any pretence to be a serious presenter and has descended deeply into the cesspool of vox pop

A new low
CBH, this morning at 0759:
"Don't you dare touch that dial."
Really, CBH? This is how one should present on Radio 3? Really?!

Somewhat OT (rather than OTT) but I believe that the school history curriculum in England will be similarly afflicted. Which means that for anyone starting secondary school next term they will learn about the Great War and not much else. Rather unbalanced, I would have thought, even for Michael Gove.
