There’s a difference between promoting the arts and selling wrinkle cream

Re Ich bin ein Berliner

Dear Lady Lucy,

Thanks for the explanation, and the interesting link.

But am I naive and/or stuffy to think that people working in the arts
should be more concerned with the truth and not get involved in
propagating nonsense? It even occurs to me that it’s treating your
potential punters with contempt: anything to get their attention, even
if it’s rubbish. There’s a difference between promoting the arts and
selling wrinkle cream.

But that’s my rant over. Your programme looks very interesting, and I
wish I could get to it.

All the best,
