Did anyone watch the Meastro series on BBC2? I thought it was fantastic and really glad Perkins won. My original tip was Goldie but Perkins really excelled and threw herself into the music. I thought she led the orchestra extremely well and thoroughly deserved to win.

Overall the series was a real hit I thought and really helps to promote classical music to the masses

thoughts anyone?

As I said on another forum, I thought it was very good. I liked the way people allowed themselves to go on tv and do something different.

Sue Perkins was a worthy winner.

An excellent series - and so much better than the hash the BBC made of its Young Musician of the Year 2008 broadcasts earlier this year.

I believed in Goldie at first, but as the series went on, I became less convinced. He seemed very capable at beating time but little else. Perkins, on the other hand, was superb - she really had eye contact with the various sections of the BBC Concert Orchestra and you felt she knew when to cue in musicians.

A thoroughly enjoyable series which I'd love to see return.

Hi Kuhlau

I agree with you, I thought it was very good. Goldie was one of the better ones, but Sue Perkins seemed very musical.

I also hope they do another series.

Reading this *Maestro* discussion does pique my interest but since I evicted my TV awhile back I have learned to make do.

HI CD

There is so much rubbish on TV, but every once in a while a little gem comes on. We have a name for it in our house, because most of it is so bad. We call it the haunted fishtank.
