Take a look at the BBC Radio 3 Proms programme listing in this example - http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b012lmg9 <br /><br />Presenter Petroc Trelawny is billed above the musicians and the repertoire in yet another example of the rapidly growing cult of the presenter.Pliablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10616598845886342325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060605.post-42281778021170034812011-07-22T10:00:03.769+01:002011-07-22T10:00:03.769+01:00This comment from Carl is worth copying over from ...<i>This comment from Carl is worth copying over from my post 'Classical music beyond Twitter'</i> -<br /><br />'I listened to the second half on a a freeview television set. It was interesting to note that the BBC's screen text gave the name of the piece and the composer and a plug for the proms website but did not mention any of the performers - not even Martyn Brabbins whose control of the vast forces was simply astonishing.<br /><br />However the blurb did single out one important name for special mention. On a page all by itself it said "presented by Tom Service". What a strange sense of priorities!<br /><br />http://www.overgrownpath.com/2011/07/classical-music-beyond-twitter.htmlPliablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10616598845886342325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060605.post-89926322917204345412011-07-21T16:35:11.850+01:002011-07-21T16:35:11.850+01:00Philip, thanks for that.

Displaying only my first name was the result of some sort of confusion when I first signed up with Blogger. Neither the BBC nor any other of these scallawags hold any fears for me. Now retired from academe, I didn't work professionally in the field we're discussing or any related, and, in any case, I've dealt with worse in my time, not without some success.
