Off their rockers

Elements of last night's Old Grey Whistle Test on BBC4 were inauthentic. The studio was way too big, and the show only over-ran by 1 minutes in 180. Perhaps that was because of the fleet of carers waiting outside TVC.

It was, largely, old blokes talking to each other - and loving Bob Harris, the least interesting of the show's roster of presenters. The complaint was always that the production team was making the show for each other. The same accusation could be made about last night.

An average of 730,000 watched the show, according to the overnight ratings.
