Yes, a great show which started a year or two before I left. Probably
another reason why i should pay an absurd amount to get "BBC America" on pay
TV here. I think BBC-2, Radio 3 and 4 are the things I most miss from
Britain. Even though they too were much weakened in '93 compared to previous
times (Thatcherism running amok in the BBC long after Thatcher had gone).
they are still unparalleled elsewhere.
