Nation Shall Chirp Unto Nation
| SUGGEST that the "Music from the Map" series from 3YA might be im- | proved if each session possessed a little more plan in its selection. A typical session begins with informing us that Sir Walter Besant, Charles Dickens, and
George Meredith were born in Portsmouth, plays us some part of Walton’s "Portsmouth Point" Overture, leaps abruptly to Athens, with some rather shaky references to Byron’s services to Greek liberty and presents a fruity tenor singing that poet’s "Maid of Athens"which unfortunately has nothing much to do with Greek liberty, but merely illustrates the habit of the Romantic poets, so infuriating to those who hanker after adult and reasonable behaviour, of professing spiritual devotion to young women whom they had met twice and who very definitely had not deserved all this. Some continuity and plan in this idea of interesting possibilities might remove a certain vagueness that clings about this, as about many morning programmes.
