As I write, Radio 4 is broadcasting a profile of Bruce Forsyth by Paul Morley.
So I turn on my cute new portable DAB radio – a Pure One Mini – bought as a Christmas treat to self. It’s the winner of What Hi Fi magazine’s Best DAB Radio for Under £50 This Year. I don’t read the magazine, I just believe the sticker on the box.
The radio crackles into life. Or rather it doesn’t, because it’s digital audio. The sound just sort of enters the room politely. And you get a scrolling text display telling you what station it is and what song or programme you’re listening to.
Not that the text display is needed in this case. The first thing I hear is this:
‘…. he is that cocksure missing link between Salvador Dali and Tommy Handley…’
Only one person on earth would describe Bruce Forsyth like that.
Morley Christmas, everyone!
