TIMELY SPOOF

Letters To The Editor

Sir: I must say your article about The Archers signature tune (April 1) was the best spoof I've heard since The Guardian announced the existence of the island of San Seriffe back in 1977. It was a parody for our times - all the ingredients were there: the fifty-something Brian Eno purporting to know all about youth; the media types, and the daft assertions of both the metropolitan intelligentsia and the "public". It's not true yet, but just give it ten years.
