  • Fantastic

    Love Melvyn. We need more like him, can’t think of anyone younger who could replace him. He must do so much research for each of the wide ranging topics as he always asks relevant and focused questions, keeping the conversation interesting. He’s a less well known but nevertheless absolute national treasure. Thanks BBC, nobody does it better!

  • Change of Host Needed

    Melvyn Bragg uses unacceptable behavior with women: rude, domineering, interrupting, and foolish, useful questions. Please seek another host.

  • In our time

    Brilliant show. Melvyn Bragg had this amazing knack of making the contributors get to the point of the argument in question by asking timely and pertinent questions. He also insists on a language that is clear and accessible to the audience, most of whom are not experts in the field. His presentation is direct and he often modulates the contributors when they are going off course in one of their academic rambles - which academics are sometimes prone to, alas.

  • A good show with an annoying host

    The contents of the show are great and informative. However, the host constantly interrupts the guests in a rather rude manner. Hey oh.
