'Songs Your Godmother should know'; 'Chris Difford and Tom Robinson tell the story of the musical education of Times classical music critic Hilary Finch, courtesy of her goddaughter Tamasin...
Hilary stopped listening to popular music in her teens, at the start of the 70s and there's a ton of stuff she's never heard; Queen, Deep Purple, Radiohead, Nirvana, Prodigy - all this is new to her. Just listening to her reactions; what she likes, what she doesn't like, her take on everything she's hearing for the first time, her disections of each piece of music she hears... She loves Radiohead but remains unimpressed by the Arctic Monkeys and Bohemian Rhapsody.
An absolutely rivetting documentary that'll hopefully crop up on Radio 4's listen again page soon.
