A reinterpretation awaited and comments which often reflected my own feelings.  Here waited catharsis. And yes it is a bit of fun even though like shooting fish in a barrel.   

&quot;Then felt I like some watcher of the skies
 When a new planet swims into his ken;
 Or like stout Cortez, when with eagle eyes
 He stared at the Pacific—and all his men
 Look’d at each other with a wild surmise—
Silent, upon a peak in Darien.&quot; 

PS.   Re reading Keats I may just have gone a little over the top in the comparison.

Tesh:  I agree with you on TV programmes.  I don&#039;t know what they are like in other countries but here they seem aimed at the thickest and most easily bored with vastly overpaid presenters.   Dopey audiences howl in ecstasy - presumably on instruction - at the appearance of some &quot;celebrity&quot;.  I am an enthusiast for Radio 4 and the World Service.
