14.1.18 Unnecessarily Long

For some reason, those in charge of BBC4 are determined to present us with programmes which have unnecessarily long titles.  Perhaps this is thought to compensate for the boring nature of the content, or perhaps the schedulers feel they have to explain exactly what the programmes are all about because otherwise we would not be able to work it out.
