Enjoyed it very much!
Thanks Martin&all,

Actually, rumor has it that this was a VIDEO production until the
Beeb visited Lower Upper Blithbury nr Rugely in Staffordshire, fabled
home of Streetly Electronics. Production was shut down for two days
while hasty conferences were held in London and Birmingham by top
people in the production department of the BBC. Since incredible
amounts of money had already been spent, it was decided to keep the
soundtrack only and broadcast on the radio.

You have just heard the result.

PS Martin and John, next time lose the lavender tutus, okay? It's
probably all right to wear them when people aren't visiting and the
wife and I quite enjoyed "Swan Lake" when we visited last year, but
it CAN be a bit much, chaps.
