Until They played the tune....and suggested Edmund Birtwistle for Desert Island Disks....

It is April 1st of course, so I'm hoping this is all bollocks. Please please please let this be a big joke. Because if it's true, this is one the most depressing, awful, pointless things I've ever heard.

Did I hear Brian Eno (who seems increasingly twatty to me) actually describe the Archer's theme tune as 'reactionary'? If it's genuine, his new 'remix' sounds like the Cheeky Girls fed through a flanger pedal...

God help the BBC at this rate. Frown

THe Radio 4 article was a super spoof of the politics of change "at all costs - regardless of need or impact"

Phew! How I cheered when I heard the proper Archer's theme tune yesterday evening.

I really should get out more...

AS you are a communications person I would have thought that you would have recognised the article as a typical all promises and no action or results type press release we see all the time from from your masters. <g>

Derek -

You are such a sweetie. No really.

Incidentally, which 'masters'? I'm not at Dept of Health anymore.
