    Proms Interval Reader: Sachs or Scarborough?

    I just listened to the Proms Interval Reading
    Some Versions of Pastoral by DJ Taylor,
    found here
    BBC Radio 3 - BBC Proms, 2015, Proms Interval, Some Versions of Pastoral
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b065xhpl
    A story by DJ Taylor about an ageing couple's association with a bygone literary set.

    I swear the reader is Andrew Sachs and not Adrian Scarborough - as
    the blurb indicates.
    Can anyone confirm?

    The credits are not given on the Listen Again.
    Did anyone hear it live on Radio 3 at the time?

    listening now, definitely Scarborough though I admit their voices are similar. Sachs's voice has changed with age I think (as it would)

      Yes I did. Definitely the mellifluous, slightly arch tones of the splendid Mr Scarborough
      "...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..."
