Essential Classics - The Continuing Debate

[oddoneout]

Are R3 presenters getting younger? (À la Dorian mode.)

TM posted this on Twitter.

Looks a bit more grown up in the schedules photo, and I think it's the same person.
Draco, no anonymous baroque today, screeds or otherwise, and I wouldn't say that it is major part of a typical EC day's output.

Must be the Blue Peter influence or the glasses...
Here are the EC & Essay images for comparison (the Messiaen Essay is from 2018).

Maybe younger, but they still IMO are asked to play dull screeds of anonymous baroque - in case you frighten the horses perhaps.

Could be just my cup of tea - but I'm afraid I rarely sample EC or Breakfast these days.

I think it's the studio lighting that makes his face look thinner, and less 'baby-faced'. I've superimposed the Twitter photo on the studio one and they are a biometric fit!

He certainly looks young but is well-informed about music, has an engaging voice and I like his presentation style, altogether an excellent addition to the presentation roster.

On essential Classics the theme tune from the 1960s TV series 'Batman' has just been played. It only lasts less than minute but it’s a curious choice! There was even a 'kapow!' from the presenter.

If Doc Walker had been presenting, I feel sure she would have included something from Live Batts!!

Say:

Ignore the references to Gavin Bryrs, and co. They had niothing directly to do with Live Batts!!

I see. Well … I don't like to offend.

Depends on who you're batting for, I suppose...
