Nicholas’s comment was about the immediate reaction to Kenneth’s death, ie, that the BBC seriously considered ending the programme in 1988.Espen, I’ve never heard the claim the show’s audience increased after Kenneth’s death. I take you at your word that you did hear it, but I have to say, I simply don’t believe it. The BBC cut back the number of shows it was recording in that period. Why do that if the show’s audience was up?I think if they hadn’t found Paul as lead player and hadn’t had the rejuvenation that he sparked, the show would have ended in the mid 90s.From: Espen KrømkeSent: Friday, January 25, 2013 12:29 AMSubject: Re: [just-a-minute] Re: 90s shows in poor soundDen 23. jan. 2013 11:53, skrev Philip Fitchett:Is it not just that fewer people were listening and recording these shows when they were first broadcast? You often seem to hear Nick say something to the effect of “When Kenneth died, people thought the show would die with him.”
That's what he said in that JAM documentary, but the key word here is "thought" - it didn't happen. In that same documentary it was also said (I think by Clement but it might have been Nic) that in fact the number of listeners *increased* after Kenneth died.
So the show did not have fewer listeners in the 90s, not according to this documentary at least.
