I tuned in to PM over the Christmas/New Year period and at least 15 minutes of the program was taken up with treating us to George Michael tracks. I now remember why I've always thought that the 80's and 90's was the crappiest ever for popular (sic) music.
I thought that it was only 5 live that went in for excessive coverage of "celebrity deaths". What ex-5live listeners refer to as a "Mandella Moment" which goes on for weeks. |

Not a Radio 4 listener myself but I imagine even Jeremy would have been bored of his voice if its all day.

From the schedule on the web site it was about four hours of poetry spread across the whole day. So there was a lot more not-poetry than poetry.

They often do a theme on New Year's Day, wasn't it Harry Potter all day one year?
