    Default Lucinda Lambton on PP

    This was like an especially bad edition of Late Junction.

    I'm afraid I wouldn't know about that, however I always like listening to Lucinda and miss her television programmes exploring architecture

    Belgrove - why so?

    I found it enchanting. Her views on the music that mattered to her were highly personal, but also very intelligent, and well articulated.
    She has had a distinctly odd life, and has remained very much her own person. It was good to hear such fresh, uncluttered thinking, free of clichés. I approved of her musical taste.

    But then I am completely beguiled by the Hon. L Lambton, Lady Worsthorne...

    Yes I wish her programmes could be repeated. She did a very interesting one on Hall Place, a beautiful early Elizabethan house near me in Bexley.

    She is always worth hearing.

    Indeed - she is a national treasure, and entertaining at all times.

    She is certainly a lively if slightly batty lady! Recording commentary with her for her programmes was always an entertaining nightmare!
    The problem was that you could never get her to read a script in the same way twice, and unfortunately her words, piquant as they often were, were meant to fit the pictures on the screen. This caused a certain amount of pain for the editors.
    All the same, I enjoyed it all!

    We are fellows in that beguilement, vinsanto. I have always carried a candle for her. Only her taste in men is questionable - Peregrine W
