Now we are leaving the EU, MPs are complaining that the Commons’ time is going to be taken up by Brexit legislation, leaving little room for anything else.

We want to reiterate what AP Miller said about Radio 2 putting Tony Blackburn on at 6am on Saturdays (Letters, March 27). The BBC should replace Brian Matthew’s 8am slot with Tony and leave Dermot O’Leary’s dull show to the afternoon where it belongs.

We love Tony’s show as we grew up with his music and the pirate radio stations. Maggie and Robin Fisher, Somerset
