But, seeing as this is the Woman's Hour wotsits, I think there might be something profound to be said about all this. How did I not notice the original only had men in it, for example? And what could he have replaced Beethoven's 5th with?
Ziggy-zig, aaaaahhh, perhaps.

Still, thank goodness he only had to make another version of Endless Art. Imagine the trouble he'd have had with Endless Science. Endless Maths. Endless Engineering. Endless...Fishing. ;D

what? i suppose they don't all need to be your favourite people.... just that they're all dead, yet still alive.... not heard it before but like the blend of voice with the music. ====== and somehow this works, really well - for me anyway...... there's been a trail on r4 throughout the week for some programme or t'other which i shall catch up on. but it was the mix that really caught my ear. mesmerised by under milk wood all those years ago and i loved Richard Burton's narration of it.... now with a new take - king tubby does dubwood ... sanjitchudha.com/2013/10/31/under-milk-wood-goes-reggae-audio/

Ah, Pippa, ma chere, I detect some element of puzzlement in your queries here. Let me explain. Fishing is traditionally a male preserve (like many an activity, but let's not get too complicated and distracted for the moment.) You will no doubt rejoinder that that's becuase or even because women have traditionally been preoccupied with other things - hoovering the carpet, scrubbing the front step, ironing the dungarees, pinning the frock, gossipping over the fence, and so on and so forth. No doubt. The point is: there are very few notable female anglers. Indeed, I can think of not a one.
Someone once asked me the definition of a man. It was in a men's group - a phenomenon that has thankfully largely disappeared in this more enlightened age, I think. I replied: a man and a woman are in a car, driving through the countryside in the middle of the night. The car suddenly stops. The man is the one who gets out and sorts it out. I'd expound further: but I'm too busy, fishing.

How cool is this? YouTube elevated to a new artform.

By which I mean, the blending of music and film, either of which can be "found" objects, or manipulated and edited as you want, to create something new. Like this, say: maybe the greatest rock lovesong ever written, with maybe the greatest lovescene ever filmed:
Nothing new about that, you might say. But now anyone can do it, like the Lynch/Madmen mix. And it's not difficult - all the gear you need is on the net to download free, and you end up in a few days of very enjoyable messing around with a highly professional film, and near as perfect reproduced music, distributed also for free to the whole world. Incredible, isn't it?
And anyone can shoot cinema-quality movies now. I helped choose a new video camera for my charity a few weeks ago. Utterly stupendous piece of handheld kit for a couple of hundred quid that ten years ago would have cost twenty thousand and required shoulders like a hod-carrier.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rjy8oLVOvi4For those interested in Jon Snow's reference to Savile in his recent interview with the great John Lydon (yet again proven right.) This was from an interview in 1978 - for some reason the BBC deleted it.
