The BBC programming normally gets the mood right for a Friday evening - and have done for about forty years.
However every November they spoil the rhythm of the week by insisting on broadcasting the awful Children in Need programme. Every year I feel that I should make an effort. Every year I cringe.
Now I'm sure that the money is much needed and well spent but why make me feel guilty by interfering with my privacy on a Friday evening? I might add that I worked behind the scenes at a local radio station one year and that confirmed my view. So my guilty secret is that I simply do not enjoy Children in Need night.
