PM - All the right words, not necessarily in the right order.
Re. Middle East: Unhappy that a spokesperson from Syria was on the programme. "This is an anti-Israeli propaganda. We don't want to hear from them. It's not acceptable."
Re. Middle East: Felt the report on PM was pro-Israeli. "The BBC does not hear
and understand the other point of view."
whether this blog (and others) are still sick. We don't really get told anything. I imagine if the radio transmitters went off someone would call, but the Blog has been bloggered for days and we sit in blissful ignorance.
We have called of course, and they "are aware".
So sorry I haven't posted much of late. If it shows itself to be working we'll give it a go, shall we?
...features on the programme tonight.
Nigel Wrench writes:
"On a shelf at Denstone College in Staffordshire, belonging to a member of the National Youth Orchestra, there to rehearse with the Russian conductor Semyon Bychkov. The Orchestra has taken over the neo-gothic boarding school for a week. There are tell-tale signs.
Mr Bychkov didn't want to be photographed. He did show me ("No-one else has seen this") his copy of the score of Luciano Berio's Sinfonia (1968), which you can hear parts of on PM this evening, as rehearsed by the young musicians.
Signed, and playfully dedicated by Berio, who became a close friend, as Mr Bychkov told the orchestra after their rehearsal.
The school was considered, it's said, as a setting for the Harry Potter films. Here's another (cold) snap."
Above is the Glass Box the PM team meets in at 18.00 every weeknight to discuss the content of the programme.
We try to be honest with each other, but not hurtful, as we talk about what worked and what didn't...what met our expectations and what fell short.
This virtual glass box is where you're encouraged to take part in the same spirit. The editor of the day reads your comments and may well add her/his own.

...that we're asking you to finish that sentence for us.
For example: It's so cold....people are turning up PM just to get more of the hot air.
It's so cold...Gordon Brown and David Cameron are hugging each other just for the warmth.
It's so cold...Iceland branches have opened all their front doors...
Here is the first, from our old friend, Alan Power, who is Head Gardener, Stourhead.
He took and sent them yesterday: "my first day back to work following flu and Christmas." Sorry to hear that Alan, but thank you for the pics.
