    I do not think this listings mess was intended to be a joke, but it is one:

    Esa-Pekka Salonen and the Philharmonia explore the turbulent years of the Weimar Republic.

      Not so much 'all the right notes...' as 'all the right pieces - just in the wrong concert'?

        The 'upside' is that both the concert and the commercial recordings in the appended list may be listened to via that page.

          When are they going to put back the markers in the time line which used to be present in the earlier radio players, so that we can identify at least the start of each piece, or preferably each movement?

          Another case of earlier versions were an improvement on the latest! Doesn't anybody at the BBC read these comments, and ACT on them?

              I'm I right in thinking the statue of Winston Churchill has been replaced by one of Boris Johnson hiding in a fridge?

                I think that's one of those new pop-up pavement toilets, Gomgers.

                    It's actually a key scene in the latest Netflix movie- '2021 A Further Space Oddity - The Revenge Of The Monolith'

                        Thought I'd break the habit of a lunchtime and do a bit of DIY. So I phoned B&Q to check they were open. While I was on I asked, 'What size is the queue?' 'Same size as the B,' came the reply.

                                Best bit for me was the send-up of Auden/Britten 'Night Train'. Brilliant.
