BBC Radios 4 & 5 will regularly inform us in their news bulletins that news was made by someone or the other speaking on “the Today programme” or even “talking to Victoria”
I first noticed another phenomenon when the Sony awards were announced last week
No programme on Radio 4 seemed to mention any of the awards won by Radio 5 – particularly not the Breakfast Show one, & not even the one for Simon Mayo & Mark Kermode
And vice versa
Then this morning the Victoria Derbyshire show replayed most of Jim Naughtie’s interview with Eric Cantona from the Cannes Film Festival
Well they replayed the answers, but voiced the questions themselves, called it merely a “BBC interview”
Not surprising that Radio 5 wanted it, since Cantona had “not ruled out”
the possibility that he might one day return to Manchester United – as manager
Children, children, please. Just play together nicely
