Tremendous stuff. I was delighted to hear Mr. B. pouring vitriol on the Eastenders theme and loved the cockney version of William Tell.

Yep - I love playing completely random stuff in concert band, since no one can hear me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
But - bassoons are good as solo instruments with piano - or in stuff like the rite of spring, where it's only them playing!
I watched this on iplayer - it was great (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Does anyone know (or can do!!!) how you can 'keep' a copy and put on DVD, its the kind of thing I could use in the classroom. Any ideas? Preferably in the next 5 and a half days.

I've never tried downloading anything from Iplayer, but there must be some way of copying the file so that it lasts more than a month (or whatever the limit on downloaded files is).
