Morty, I have never been able to take PM seriously, going back to the great days of Brian Redhead on Today (before that clever bloody Humphreys 'saved' the programme), as it always had a 'poppy' feel to it, with lightweights like Valerie Singleton making a seamless transfer from Blue Peter.

I tried to listen to it tonight, but only lasted 17 minutes before I gave up and accepted I would have to listen to that plank Walker on the Light Programme
