I don't recall hearing Nimrod, but Richard did play the other 3 from the poll top 4. He didn't give the impression of any bitterness about it being the last show.

I heard Elgar's Nimrod - it was towards the end of the hour.

There was an excellent piece in the Sunday Times yesterday, by Paul Donovan, on the demise of YHBT, and the way it was done, referring also to the other recent changes on Radio 2, and the reaction on the message boards (although doesn't note that these are now censored and any adverse comment removed). See http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,14934-2552369,00.html

Yes Ron, we covered that in some detail in another thread Wink



(Thanks Cherskiy, when Nimrod was on I must have been washing up or checking the dictionary in the kid's scrabble game. I'm impressed, words like Yogi and Zen are OK, though try telling my missus.)
