Well - as I never saw the programme and unless it is repeated never likely to:

If the man shows a bit of pomposity and that gets him to where he is at - that is what I call the "price of genius".

If you don't consider the genius level to be high enough - maybe the pomposity quotient was hardly a barrier to liking the musicianship either. The man has catholic musical tastes, and everyone and his brother wants to hang on to his coat-tails. He needs distance for his own sanity.

I will be watching for the repeats...........
