    Since recent editions have been repeats, I guess it's logical to repeat the trailers too.

        So true
        "...the isle is full of noises,
        Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
        Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
        Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

          Isn’t the whole hygge thing a complete con ? The Danes have just as many family rows as anyone else .
          I just think of Amanda’s failed Hygge shop in the peerless comedy Motherland ..the scene of her drunken encounter with Kevin on the day of it’s oh so predictable closure.

            I blame Sandi Toksvig.

                  Or in this case Auntie Beeb

                  Discovered while ploughing through the next few days trying(with only very very minimal success) to find something I might want to listen to. Heck I'd settle for it not being seasonal so long as it's worth making time for.
                  If this is Sam Jackson's idea of a R3 Christmas it's even worse than I feared.

                    It's getting worse. Heard at 15:35 yesterday:

                    'I needed music that allowed me to feel what I was feeling'.

                    What drivel is this?

                      That nauseating trailer where Rob Brydon proclaims “it tore my heart right out of my chest” drives me nuts.

                        The script for a trailer read by SMP hails 'the home of classical music' as suitable for any time of day... even while you\re waiting for that kettle to boil.

                          Couldn’t agree more . Outside being blown up only thing that does that is a heart transplant and , hopefully , the surgeons try to avoid any tearing. Exaggerated metaphors don’t really bear repetition do they ?

                              As any Gavin and Stacey fan will tell you, not everything that Rob Brydon says should be taken that seriously.
                              On the subject of trailers, things are getting worse on Radio 4, where the Today programme now features a dramatic featurette promoting the new series of 'Meet The Midwife'.

                                Be careful what you wish for! A trailer for 'Call the Midwife' appeared on Radio3 yesterday .

                                Have you noticed how they introduce the next piece of music , and then say 'after this' . 'This' being a trailer, for something else: the idea , of course, being to force you to listen to it. They do this so often now that they've obviously been told to do it, and by whom? I think we can guess.

                                Also, I find radio trailers for TV programmes irritating because they rarely make sense without the picture. I try not to listen .
