To all those who came along to the British Film Institute (BFI) last weekend, thank you very much indeed. What a night it turned out to be, Uncle Henry. Congratulations to all! 'The Times' leads today with some editorial comment now for Berliozzzzzz.

"When the BBC proposed in 1957 to curtail the broadcast hours for the Third Programme, the original postwar precursor to Radio 3, listeners were up in arms. TS Eliot told a deputation of campaigners that to consign the BBC’s classical music output to a small slice of the evening was a “massacre”, “sheer vandalism”, a plan to “pander to the more moronic elements in our society”. Now others have taken up the poet’s mantle. The so-called Friends of Radio 3 are giving the lie to their name, attacking the station for lumping listeners with populist, Classic FM-style musical bonbons in waking hours, often interrupted by requests for tweets and emails, while airing the “meatier”, more “challenging” classical music in the middle of the night ..
