I suppose in the world of "celebrities" it is considered normal to slag people off. However, I do sometimes shake my head at some of the vitriol aimed at Mike Harding as a broadcaster.

The BBC commission the show to their requirements, and Mike fulfils this. If there is an issue with the program (and in my opinion it is one of the best programs BBC radio put out in any genre) then perhaps complaints should be aimed at those who shape broadcasting rather than aiming it at a gifted person who hasn't a bad thing to say about anybody and tries to entertain at both ends of The UK spectrum of folk, both nostalgia for those stuck in the early '70s and the rest of us who are introduced to some brilliant new and existing talent out there.

There, said it now.

That'll be three pints please Mr Harding.
