Me too. The same thought was obviously had across the nation.


Tut, tut, Mary! You are obviously begining to feel a little better. 

Mary - you should see Meryl Streep at 59 (obviously no plastic) but leaping around like a teenager, supple, lithe, energetic....gives us hope for the future! 

Gosh, Mary. You ARE feeling better!

So is there any way of getting this bl%dy programme on the iPlayer or not?

richard, just go to iplayer, type in Maestro, and Bob is your auntie's girlfriend.  Both episodes there.

Sometimes the Welsh have a different take on relationships and gender.

Probably Hywel Dda talks some sense.  But then he played the Brangwyn Hall.

There's something horribly punchable about Katie Derham - she's too clinical and pointy and she manages to get a very bland response from the orchestra every time.  She just doesn't seem to have any discernable personality.

David Soul I find very creepy. In the first episode when his mentor was getting him to act a story I had to hide behind a cushion, it was worse than a lot of horror films.

I'm very disappointed in Alex James, it's a bit like watching your dad dancing embarrassingly at a wedding or something.  I rather liked the comment "I'm not sure what you're left arm is doing, did you want a cup of coffee?"  "Yes."

I too was delighted to see Asher come a cropper.  How mean are we all? 

Go Perkins.    Where's Giles Coren in all this then?  Maybe he's tone deaf.   I'd like to see Stephen Fry give it a go as well.  Maybe one for Maestro 2: the Remake 

Yes I heard that - it was a snippet from when they were weighing up the performances wasn't it?  Could have been Derham or Asher I suppose.  Very naughty of them to include it as a clip but very funny!
