Private Passions

I thought Lucy Worsley came over extraordinarily well and probably could (and indeed nearly did) run rings around her interviewer.

Wouldn't be hard. MB increasingly sounds like he has a hard job being interested in his guests or even staying awake.

I've never had a problem with 'Private Passions' - together with the very different Early Music Show, it makes for 2 hours' enjoyable and often informative listening. I certainly enjoyed today's 'PP'.

i agree....just right for the day and time of day....and some really interesting offerings, and very interestings blends of music....still remember several from years ago Karen Armstriong for instance and Jon Snow....

Never mind the Duchess of Kent, is she any relative of Britain's Finest Ventriloquist?

I think we should be told!

Thanks.

Shame really I've always liked the Duchess!

[Old Grumpy]

With that surname I wondered if she's any kin to the Duchess of Kent?

No - scroll down!

Chief Curator at Historic Royal Palaces apparently - no, I didn't know either. I do recall having seen her on some TV programme or other.

And Lucy Worsley is?

err.. the lady who was asked about her 'Private Passions'!

I know this programme has come in for a bit of stick recently on one or other of the threads but I found today's very enjoyable. While the music may have been a mixed bag, though none of it intrinsically unwelcome, I thought Lucy Worsley came over extraordinarily well and probably could (and indeed nearly did) run rings around her interviewer. I am of course a fan and may be biased but more guests of that calibre everywhere might convert me to guest spots .... might!
