I couldn't agree more or let's not forget the new travesty. Select your time and music for a wake up call. I am getting to work early now as I often listen in the car and try to get to the car park before your call.

I've just looked at the R3 Facebook page and I couldn't help but smile at a post from producer Steve Bowbrick about whatever it is that Tom Service has been up to and saying that it was announced on 'Breakfast' by Suzy Klein. Someone else has pointed out that surely it's Sara Mohr-Pietsch who presents the programme. One is tempted to say, "never mind, Steve, it's an easy mistake; they all sound the same don't they?"

My father always used to describe something which was badly put together as a 'pigs breakfast' and so I propose Pigs Breakfast as a new title for this programme.

Whatever the reason, from Monday I shall simply cease the self-abuse of listening at this time.

Reply from JB (our JB?): "You're so right Elspeth. Radio 3 should give up playing old hat classical music and take up sport instead. Far better use of the licence fee payers' money. I'm sure Reith and Glock would approve!"
Somehow, the thought that coming first in the BBC radio presenters' assault course competition is portrayed as a success of seldom achieved magnitude in the eyes of the world is, well, depressing ... I wonder if it will be mentioned in the Annual Report?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.

The continued froth of excitement - Martin Handley ullulated in Tom Service's praise on this morning's Breakfast (after serving up some very familiar dishes), Sean Rafferty waxed uxoriously yesterday evening, S M-P orgasmically (oh yes!) announcing the winner (sic) of some bizarre assault course run for radio presenters - is certainly a defining step point in the fast steepening decline of a once glorious radio station.O Wort, du Wort, das mir Fehlt!

SteveB taking time off from Twitter and Facebook to read The Envy of the World?. I certainly don't remember the R3 people getting so excited about anything as they were over our Tom's bid for glory!

This morning I was 'treated' to a deadly dull movement from a piano concerto by Fuchs AND a deadly dull movement from a violin concerto by Philip Glass in less than an hour. On the bright side, I was spared the other movements (or are they more interesting?) It's a great shame that there isn't a Sunday edition of the 'Today' programme.

On Sunday morning I usually manage without Radio 3 until Private Passions and The Early Music Show. I start off with Sportsweek on Five Live. Garry Richardson is an incisive interviewer and seems to get the best people to come on the show. I then have the habit of picking some baroque music on CD - often a Bach Cantata. Today it's Neapolitan chamber music with Il Giardino Armonico and it's providing a pleasant accompaniment to the sunny Spring weather and is certainly preferable to the Archers Omnibus, as favoured by my wife, though I do tend to rejoin her for Desert Island Discs.
