BBC in shock success8th-Dec-2008 05:15 pm
Really did enjoy BBC Four's decision to turn Friday night over to Nana Mouskouri. On the one hand it convinced me that there might actually be a purpose for this channel other than its current role as a dumping ground for laugh a decade panel shows hosted by nepotism incarnate Victoria Coren, interpretive dance workshops and shows nobody watches featuring that personality by-pass that got his knickers in a twist over Katie Melua. On the other hand it reminded me what a great singer Nana was and how it is a terrible shame that she is ignored by all and sundry these days with the notable exception of Paul O'Grady). We've seen justifiable reappraisals of talented individuals who were once considered uncool such as Johnny Cash and Neil Diamond, not to mention status suddenly given to undeserving no-marks like Grace Jones and Dire Straits so it is long overdue that Nana took her rightful place in the former category. For once it is kudos to Auntie.
