OK
I'm going to make an invidious comparison here, so please hold your breath and possibly just step over this thread.

I'm rather struck by the contrast between Rob Cowan's 'vision of breakfast' and that of Sara Mohr-Pietsch
(see for example http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/breakfast/pip/bdfhb/ vs. http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/breakfast/pip/tcj15/ )
Maybe it's not such a huge gap, but it strikes me as being rather Beebian to assume that weekend listeners are going to be rather more conventional that weekday listeners.
Perhaps this should be in the grumpy rant corner rather than the blue corner.

In one of my last postings on TOP (which I've now left for aye) I was answering Sara's query about "what would be good to play on weekend breakfast shows", and in fact I said the opposite to this...  that something a bit more light-hearted would be welcome at the weekend?  I was suggesting stuff like saxophone quartets etc.

Well I'm not sure that we're posting at such cross purposes here.
What struck me about the weekend programmes was just how conventional (and a little bit boring) they were.
Something light-hearted would be a great contrast and potentially bring it to life a bit more.
