Sunday Citizens
UNDAY afternoon programmes are among the most rewarding to listen to; at the same time, since there is no subsidiary station on the air, they offer some of the most hair-raising juxtapositions. It is impossible for it to be otherwise, where such different levels of taste must be catered for. As it was, on Sunday, October 9, we were strictly Third Programme at 4YA for an hour and a-half with Julian Huxley and Fauré, and then descended rather abruptly from these Olympian heights to musical comedy, for which no doubt many listeners were waiting. At this end of the islands anyway, where reasons of climate bar the progress of the Continental Sunday, there is usually a pretty large audience sitting huddled round their heaters with the radio on, and not all of them want ‘to feel vaguely that they are putting the Almighty in their debt by listening to solemn music they do not like and talks they do not understand. When, if ever, it becomes possible to extend broadcasting time in the centres, the provision of alternative programmes for Sunday afternoon should
have a high priority.
