As some mudcatters will know, I've never managed to get worked up by the PEL campaign. However I heard the Howells interview and must concur that Harding's handling of it was staggeringly incompetent. Utterly useless. An insult to those who had taken the trouble to put questions. (Shambles has given a fair indication of the answers he managed to elicit.)

The show is not a BBC production, but is bought in, so complaints would need to go to the commissioning editor, or the controller of BBC Radio 2. Or skip all that and write to the D-G, Greg Dyke. I hope someone does.
