Radio 2’s big mistake

SIR – Yesterday I listened to the last programme presented by Ken Bruce on BBC Radio 2. As ever, it was most enjoyable. I, like many others, deem Mr Bruce to be the finest radio presenter of his time. The BBC’S decision to place him on “gardening leave” shows a complete lack of respect for him and his listeners.

I look forward to listening to Mr Bruce when he returns to the airwaves with his new employer.
