Should have realised, as it was RC doing the introduction.

... of the finale""...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..."

We of course had the whole of 5 on Sunday Morning yesterday....time for JS to nip off for a fry-up in the canteen.

These days with Radio 3 I suppose we have to be thankful for small mercies!

For those still listening in bed during the Breakfast programme, an embedded composer might make good company, even on Monday mornings!
BBC Radio 3 - In Tune - Suzy Klein announces Matthew Kaner as BBC Radio 3’s Embedded: Composer in 3
For those who have already risen, it might make a sensible place to leave Matthew, although it is encouraging that at least for seventy days after the Third's seventieth birthday, Breakfast will be taking contemporary classical music more seriously.
BBC - Media Centre - A 70-day music commission and Radio 3 debut work among commissions for 70th anniversary of Third Programme
The Eternal Breakfast Debate will, by definition, never be over, even in an old place. But if it is a debate about pioneering new music, Radio 3 is to be applauded.

The chumminess of presenters on Breakfast programmes, across the BBC radio and TV network, is something that has been remakes upon many times, with suggestions that far from involving the listeners it actually excludes then from the "club". In Tesco this afternoon, I experienced much the same thing. One of the assistants at the checkout was serving me, but was chatting to whoever was working on the checkout behind her. This has happened to nearly everyone from time to time, and it's generally acknowledged to be rather rude. But they're on low paid jobs, so perhaps a little understanding is in order.
What's the excuse when the weather reporter makes some irrelevant (to the viewers) comment to the co-presenters? Institutional ill manners?
