Worth 8 minutes of your time if you want a smile: Kelli O'Hara performing "They Don't Let You in the Opera (If You're A Country Star)" (listen hard to the words...)

Thanks for finding this, Cali - it's taken me a whole lifetime to reach anything approximating that level of musical recognition

: really made my day!

Someone said that YouTube is a great archive where you can hear and see things from the past that you hear and see nowhere else. That is often very true because here, for example, is an hour-long TV studio concert in which Sir Adrian Boult conducts the LPO in a programme of English music (Elgar, Butterworth, Holst, RVW and Bliss). The programme is dated 1970, when he'd have been 81, and in between each piece he chats to Richard Baker, not always looking quite comfortable in being an interviewee. Oddly enough, unless I missed the reference, I can't seem to see any mention of this programme in Michael Kennedy's Boult bio.

This particularly copy has been usefully furnished with Japanese sub-titles, so one wonders how the inhabitants of Tokyo and elsewhere in Japan enjoyed the English works which Sir Adrian presented. Incidentally, I assume this hasn't been issued on DVD over here and that the video comes direct from a Japanese TV transmission ...

This programme was broadcast at 2105 hours on BBC 2 on April the 12th 1970 as part of the 'Music on 2' series. The producer was Brian Large.

Stokowski's 'Desert Island Discs' (1957) started with Bach and Mozart and finished with Dixieland Jazz and an Argentinian Tango. He had an amusing tangle with Roy Plomley over his luxury article who insisted it had to be inanimate. "How cruel of BBC" was Stokey's response ...

I notice that the running time for this episode is ca. 30 minutes. Does anybody happen to know when the programme's running time was increased to the current 43 minutes?

It seems to have crept up and down over the years - on 14th August, 1976, when James Galway was the castaway, the programme was 28 minutes long (19:02 - 19:30, followed by These You Have Loved) and the same timing was given to Marissa Robles the next year. (This was the timing that the programme was original allocated when it first was broadcast on the Home Service). By the end of 1979, rugby player Barry John was given 35 mins (and the programme was followed by Stop the Week). On 28th June, 1980, dog traumatiser Barbara Woodhouse had forty minutes. Lionel Hampton and Ian Richardson both got 55mins each in September, 1983, but on 1st October that year, Rosemary Sutcliff was back to 40 mins. The programme has hovered between 39 mins and 43 mins ever since.

Thank you - I assume this required a certain amount of digging or at least rootling around.

Mainly devoted to Navigating the Beeb maze that gets you to the Genome itself. Once that dragon was slain, and you'd worked out the secret code used in the cryptic riddle, finding the relevant programme information was a matter of seconds.
