VodkaDilc: while I don't watch Graham Norton's TV show (and obviously don't watch Eurovision), I greatly enjoy his contributions to 'Just A Minute', where his articulacy, diction and warm personality make for a very pleasurable listening experience. And, for what it's worth, while the lady wife also doesn't watch his TV show, she quite enjoys his 'agony aunt' column in the Saturday Telegraph. I suspect that a fate much worse than Graham can, and indeed may well, befall Radio 3 ere too long, at which people might realize that, as radio presenters go, he is pretty good.

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Originally posted by underthecountertenor View PostI thought I had expressed my views pretty moderately, so don't quite understand why you have felt the need to go on the offensive.
But my tastes are not coincident with yours, and I often feel bored/ uncomfortable after listening a while to those presenters you mention.
That is why I asked a genuine question - do your views represent those of the majority? If so , I guess we can look forward to hearing much more of Ian Skelly, and I will probably depart in the general direction of Radio 6. If not, I'll probably hang around.

What the BBC's focus on the role of the presenter has done is to move attention away from the musical content of the programmes, so that there are more threads here about presenters rather than what is being presented. For me a 'good' presenter will be an unobtrusive one who swiftly and concisely (and accurately) conveys the relevant information about the performance. I don't really want to notice the presenter at all, just the music. Which is why programmes like Breakfast and Essential Classics, which are really constructed around the presenter and guests, with the music as a kind of afterthought (and so much of that is endlessly recycled music) are of so little interest to me. I would like to get back to a period - there must have been one - when no-one gave a damn who the presenter was.
