Woman's Hour has long featured a strand showcasing women musicians, especially when they have a tour or CD to promote. People doubtless look on the programme's webpage to see whose turn it is, because most people (not just those in boats and / or seagulls bobbing on the ocean) know how to use the internet, and they listen or not accordingly.

It is not, thus, some kind of secret who will be on the programme, nor is it a surprise that it it scriptwriters not presenters who determine what is said in introductions. It is not useful to publicly criticise the BBC just because you don't personally agree with the inclusion of one guest. A far more constructive course of action would be to email Jill Burridge thanking her for her sterling work in continuing to showcase women musicians while pointing out that "f*lk" doesn't actually need "Great Hopes". Without such positive feedback the editor may well decide that the game isn't worth the candle.
