It still does feel like a great loss to the network, though. I wonder what'll be replacing it.

Relating to the rest of the schedule changes, it's fair enough it really could be a lot worse.

If they were really cash-strapped I wouldn't mind them extending a few other programmes.
Money Box, GQT, and The Life Scientific spring to mind for me.
It always feels like these programmes run out of time when listening, TLS is especially dear to my heart as it inspired my choice of career.
An added bonus is that an extended version of those programmes perhaps won't be so jarring due to the nature of the programmes.

I'll miss The Food Programme on Sundays, Sheila Dillon is a joy to listen to although sadly not something I'd seek out specifically
With the extension of DI Discs on Sunday, The Archers Omnibus will likely finish around quarter past twelve.
Will they have a news briefing then, or will it be straight into the repeat of Monday night's comedy.
If they go straight from Discs to The Archers, that could be two TOTHs void of pips or news!
