Grrrrrrrr! I could so slap Alan Titchmarsh. Wonderful few minutes singing along (under my breath so I don't frighten the neighbours :) ) to 'Jerusalem' at the Last Night of the Proms, and barely had the last note finished than he has to chip in with 'Hubert Parry's 'Jerusalem'....' etc completely ruining the moment.

Any parade with brass bands over here, and the presenters think that this gives them open license to blah-blah-blah when some of us would like to hear.

I agree with you Pam, but wasn't it a wonderful programme, and think the new conductor is excellent- just an unfortunate name- Paul Daniels, although I think this one is just magic.
What did you think of that German counter-tenor? quite an unusual voice but most enjoyable to listen to.

Got in too late to watch the Proms..................... but the same thing happens on the radio.You hear something you like and wait and and hear if the dj is going to tell you who it was by but instead starts to |rant| over the last 30 seconds of it about whatever he was up to the night before, who cares !

".... just an unfortunate name- Paul Daniels, although I think this one is just magic."

It's unfortunate that people *think* that his name is Paul Daniels, so may mix him up with the fellow of that name.
The conductor is Paul Daniel.

(Edit - waits in anticipation of Terry starting a new grump about a pedantic old so-and-so spoiling his joke. ;) )

|blush| I confess that I'm not really into classical stuff (though I do like some) and only switched on for Land of Hope and Glory, Fantasia on British Sea Songs, Rule, Britannia, and Jerusalem.
