I absolutely hate the fact that the Proms have got so dumbed-down that this year there was apparently even a Quincy Jones one.
The Proms have been dumbed down for years - there was a Dr Who one last year. I remember waiting eagerly for the programme and plotting my schedule - either at the RAH or on TV - but the gems are so few and far between. Still, there's Rattle and the Berlin doing Mahler this Friday so that's the week TV highlight.
I want the old Proms back - it's gone the way of proper cricket
