Little by Little
NE of the most striking differences between local programmes and those from the BBC at the moment is in the brevity of New Zealand made. Did someone once have a notion that a very few minutes was all the listener could possibly bear, and that he should have his information rationed out to him in serial doses? And has this notion ever come up for re-examination? Is there any advantage in having John Starkey’s reminiscences presented to us in 10-minute lots? On the contrary, would his impressions not gain in force by being given to us in one sitting? Fifteen minutes has been assessed as our maximum period of concentration from ZB and YA for the most part. I suggest we are under-rated.
