@MannGeorgia @Spectator_LIFE @BBCRadio3 Well done for challenging such lazy and ill-informed criticism. The listening figures bear testimony to your success. I think you and your colleagues are getting the balance just right - accessible but not patronising or infantalising. Keep it up!

@BBCRadio3 @classicjacko @LintonStephens Loving In Concert tonight. Lively and original.

[Andy Tighe @andytighe]

@classicjacko @BBCRadio3 @MichaelBerkele2 @david_mitchell Excellent

[Andy Tighe @andytighe]

@DaveWishingsky @BBCRadio3 @elizabethalker Respectfully disagree- not what I was saying.

[Andy Tighe @andytighe]

Loving the new @BBCRadio3 schedule. Stimulating and unstuffy. And an extra half hour for @elizabethalker too, which can't be bad!

[Andy Tighe @andytighe]

@DaveWishingsky @BBCRadio3 @elizabethalker I didn't say anything was stuffy - just that this isn't.

[Andy Tighe @andytighe]

@DaveWishingsky @BBCRadio3 @elizabethalker I mean accesible without being patronising, serious but not insular. It's a fine line and it's difficult to please everyone all of the time but I think this is the kind of intelligent refresh that all broadcasters need to do from time to time to refresh as well as retain audience

@John_BHarvey The Quiet American - sadly underrated IMO.

[Andy Tighe @andytighe]

Very gracious and generous send-off from @martinhandleyr3 this morning on @BBCRadio3. Good luck for the future, Martin!

[Andy Tighe @andytighe]

@DannyShawNews @YvetteCooperMP Good luck, Danny!

[Andy Tighe @andytighe]

@John_BHarvey @cadoganhall @gretchenpeters @barelywashed Wasn't it great to see the brilliant @kimrichey on the bill, too?

The most amazing person left us yesterday.
@maureenkenny1 was a shining beacon for everyone who knew her. She cherished everyday and was thankful for every sunrise. We walked Hadrian’s Wall together knowing she had incurable breast cancer. I wish you all could’ve met Maureen

@nubya_garcia @bbcproms It was fantastic!

[Andy Tighe @andytighe]

@tombrook Good to hear you this morning - hope you're well, Tom!

[Andy Tighe @andytighe]

@RobertElms it's a mood not a tense! Yes, I need to salir de casa more! Great show!

[Andy Tighe @andytighe]

@Jacqui_Smith1 @DannyShawBBC @bbcstrictly Please no Danny! Anything but that! Best of luck old friend.

[Andy Tighe @andytighe]

@Ardnamurchangla kinda disappointed that I sent you an email on Sat about being very sick after a meal in your restaurant on Fri and didn't even get a reply.

[Andy Tighe @andytighe]

Fantastic Saturday breakfast programme on @bbcradio3 today. Great to hear regional voices presenting! Let's have more!

[Andy Tighe @andytighe]

@BBCMatthewPrice Good luck for the future!
