But anyway, Meat's comments were animated and point on.

Alan Titchmarsh .. well known gardener, then author and presenter on daytime TV .. lol. He was hosting the Paul O'Grady show when Meat appeared on it ..
Some friends watched it last night and commented on the quality and knowledge shown in Meat's comments, plus that he seemed constrained by the format and being rushed to feed back in just a sentance or two. Alan Titchmarsh wants to constrain him? .. well, I wish him good luck with that!
Meat has so much more to offer the performers than the scant bit he was allowed last night .. I hope as the numbers of performances reduce he gets to show more of what he can give them .. and suspect might do so backstage anyway? :)
The two professional opera singers concentrated on the voices .. which is entirely appropriate. Their feedback was interesting, constructive, and I noticed Meat listening intently to them. But Meat has so much to offer in terms of the drama and conveying the passion/emotions of the pieces .. and drama and passion after all lie at the heart of opera .. Which is a signal reason why his performances are always described as operatic of course
So I hope AT reins back his constraints and Meat isn't left again trying to elbow in a useful and interesting piece of feedback in just a few words .. although his were well chosen and hit the mark each time imo.
