    Afternoon on 3 13-16 October 2014: Richard Strauss

    A series of 4 programmes, predominantly of Richard Strauss's music. It looks tempting, though the trailer, "join me, Katie Derham" suggests there might me an obstacle course to negotiate before hearing the music.

      Not to mention the intro programme tonight, trailed with the dread words "Join me, Tom Service"

      Suddenly, 'Downton Abbey' looks attractive....
      "...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..."

        Do these presenters really consider themselves to be so important?

        Or are they simply following the script? If so, it must be one of the easiest jobs on earth: 3 minutes of reading a script, followed by 10 - 70 minutes of doing absolutely nothing, followed by 3 minutes of talking...

          Ah, but you are forgetting the hours spent perfecting the EXACT but emotionless pronunciation of foreign names by a certain presenter.

            surely all "presentation" of programmes has been scripted from the very beginning of the BBC (?). Whether the presenter him/herself writes the script I wouldn't know.
