... And don't forget, if you've missed any of these works in the last twenty-four hours you can always catch up on the BBC iplayer and listen again. Or, you can probably just tune in again tomorrow because we're bound to be playing them again.

And those repeats of i Lombardi, Bax's Tintagel, Stanford's 'Songs of the Fleet'. Pesky BBC...

I posted that because I am taking a long break from a day job and one of the things I was looking forward to was no longer being exposed to the repetition and automaton presentation of the Breakfast sequence.

Yes, I was naieve enough to imagine that the daytime was still of a standard. Well, that was stupid of me, wasn't it?!

it is CFm lite - the lightness being derived from the absence of the obnoxious adverts tho the BBC's own 'built trailer' dept could easily move en masse across to CFm and apart fro subject matter I doubt if anything would change - possibly post noon there is some return to old Beeb stndards tho come 4.30 ...

[Stillhomewardbound]

... yes, then it's the rattle of the tea trolley and the prattle of the In Tune fondant fancies. Coooeeeee!!

Well, at least three of the OP's five were in the afternoon.

I hope the Brahms didn't interfere with your enjoyment of the Bips....
