Can anyone explain why a gentle radio show with music has the power to make me cry so often! Patrick Grant this week talking about his father! Adrian Edmondson talking about Rik Mayall! Perhaps it is because they are often my age and the music stirs those memories.

A friend who composed incidental music explained it to me.
