from the South and West
You will notice several differences in today's programme, the last in the present series. There is no Max Robertson, no Arthur Negus. The customers are absent from their seats on the chairman's left. Johnny Morris, who has graced the programme once or twice before, will simply chat about objects of beauty and antiquity with four experts. But this does not set a new style. When the programme returns a few weeks hence both Max Robertson and Arthur Negus will be back. And the customers will be in their usual places.
