But seriously, yes, I do remember those programmes from the 60s. And I understand the BBC bureaucracy very well from my days there in the late 60s and early 70s.

I also remember a fairly recent BBC4 presentation of June Tabor from St. Luke's, with the likes of Martin Simpson in the band. The stunning simplicity and wonderful atmosphere of June singing Richard Thompson's "Strange Affair", with just the guitar of Martin as backing is a piece of folk on TV that was everything it should have been. Just an example of not making a programme over-complex and concentrating on the music.
