Yes, if Ian had run first name and second name together, he'd have been fine, but he hesitated.It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

Whoever planned yesterday's Essential Classics is stirring up our memories of that 1980s wonder, The Adventure Game. Moira Stewart, Lesley Judd ... aspidistras. The show had it all!
Why else would they play, in succession, the Caurlli and the Grieg Norwegian dance - orchestrated for brass? They were the theme tunes for series one and two! You remember now, right?
All of which evidently went right under the radar of the most lofty Ian 'never owned a television' Skelly.
Thanks! Whoever you are :- )

Sadly, I'm also old enough for my memory to play tricks.....
