Wow, I didn't know that - I really enjoy midweek sad.

Oh dear! I have been given 2 tickets to attend the Midweek recording on Tuesday 13th December. It may be the last one( to be broadcast early in the new year)!

I was very sad to read that the BBC is axing Midweek hosted by Libby Purves after 35 years on air. I suppose it was bound to happen to an excellent varied programme that was described by some as 'too genteel'. It is to be replaced by a presenter free arts interview series. Whenever I really enjoy a programme I know that is the kiss of death. I suppose I could continue listening to the archive editions unless they get rid of those too.

'Oh wo is me' as Frankie Howard used to say in Up Pompeii.
