Farewell, rest in peace Lalo Schifrin, veteran of six Oscar nominations, four Grammy awards, the Three Tenors, Dizzy Gillespie, Ella Fitzgerald, Count Basie, Sarah Vaughan… and Bullitt, and Mission Impossible. His big theme, "― ―, · ·, ― ―, · ·" that's "MI" in Morse.

Edward Elgar, Arnold Bax, Frank Bridge all had strong associations with the South Downs. Any music by them, or others, would build a playlist inspired by John Ireland’s A Downland Suite. Join me on Essential Classics and help make it happen from 9.30 til 1 @BBCRadio3.

Considering what was still in living memory when I first voted, every election feels like a gift. Though many argue the system for allocating MPs' seats is outdated in our multi-party world, at least every vote is still counted and informs opinion. #GE2024
