How apt, your new tagline, 'who says you can't change history'!Part One of the Seven Ages of Rock was even introduced by the announcer as featuring Jimi Hendrix, and in the BBC version, he is the central figure, all references to him in your version have been entirely removed, as if a latter-day Stalin had made him a 'non-person'! You could easily have accommodated the adverts by trimming elsewhere. But no. In a move that must stand unique in broadcasting history, you actually removed the main subject of the the programme from the programme itself. This stands as an object lesson in how to lose several years' well-earned reputation and integrity in a single show. If only it really were yesterday, eh?
