Duly recorded. From the foregoing I think it may help to watch it from the perspective of an intelligent member the television audience rather than from the very specialised viewpoint of a knowledgeable folkie.

The audience for BBC4 is small enough to imperil its survival. There are probably more people in it, though, than there are folkies in England. You could probably take every person who attends a folk-festival proper, a sing-around or a ceilidh or dances Morris in a year and not have enough to 'justify' one TV programme being screened.

From what I've seen so far it is well and pleasantly put together, and I look forward to watching and listening to the rest of it.
