I am listening to the Bob Dylan Theme Time Radio Shows on BBC 6Music. They go out every Friday evening at 9pm which is far from convenient for most of us especially as it's red and wine and DVD night - so I catch them the week after on the BBC's brilliant 'Listen Again' facility.
This morning I clicked onto a link which says 'listen to the latest show' only to hear the show which was on 2 weeks ago. I emailed the BBC asking could they update their link only to receive an email saying that 'due to the amount of email they receive they cannot reply or action them all' - but suggested I email the show producers direct, which I did, only to receive a reply which said 'due to the amount of email they receive...', well you know how it goes.
Always thinking on the positive I left it a few hours and tried again, thinking that it might have nudged someone to update the link. Well someone obviously read my email [of course several other fans of the show may have emailed as well] because now on the 6Music web page it says:
Unfortunately last Friday's episode is not available on
'listen again' due to rights reasons.
Now, is this the truth or more believeably, is it because the theme was guns? The latter I fear which takes us right back to the debate of if we watch Playstation games do we go out and kill?
Please 6Music, the avergae age of the listener to this kind of show has trouble getting up off the sofa let alone loading a rifle and shooting their next door neighbour for not trimming their hedge!!!!!
Being the completist I am and the fact that the shows are simply billiant, I am miffed!
Also what's the difference between listening to it when it went out on Friday or aftwerwards. If there is a rights issue should it not have been sorted before it went on air?
