@philsteele1@KenOwens1088 A lovely commentary Phil. Just the right balance of interesting facts, intelligent observations and humour. Ken spot on too. Much better than the hype from certain other broadcasters.
@CPhilpOfficial I am just about to press the unfollow button, as I have had enough of your hypocritical rants. You should be ashamed of yourself, and even though I am one of your constituents I will no longer endure your smug whinging
messages any longer.
7 May 1974. The last episode of the children’s show, Bagpuss, aired on BBC1. It was made by Peter Firmin and Oliver Postgate and had run for 13 episodes since 12 February 1974. The lead character was described as "a saggy, old cloth cat”.
@BBCRadio3 what passes for music these days? Just heard James McMillan’s new euphonium concerto. I tried, honestly but it was tuneless meaningless rubbish.
@houghhough@RadioTimes@BBCRadio3 A beautiful Nocturne, Sir S. Reminded me of walking down Exhibition Road from the Proms that very evening having enjoyed VW's A Sea Symphony and thinking what a wonderful world, especially as we had sat next to a distinguished lady, who turned out to be Ursula Vaughan Williams!
@DaveWishingsky@BBCRadio3 Totally agree with these comments and responses. Does anyone at Radio3 care? I'm old enough to remember when interference on radio was a crackle or hiss. Now it's deliberate intrusions. When @PetrocTrelawny says "in 40 seconds I'll be playing Bach..." Almost apologetically!
@MartGillingham great commentary as ever on the East Wales derby, especially the way you prompted Ellis to share some really fascinating insights into how top players see the game. So enjoyable.
Not long now, #MichaelSheen fans 🥳

@bbcproms@the_halle@RoyalAlbertHall@BBCiPlayer Sorry but McMillan’s music leaves me cold. It promises so much but delivers a trite, unstructured mess. All that wonderful resource…sorry for Sir Mark to have to endure such mediocrity on such an occasion.
