Talk about Carpe Diem. Love it when stuff like this goes well, like Broooce bringing up a kid onstage to sing "Growin' Up" and finding the kid could play and sing really well.

Well I think the Glasto coverage is a failure. They only show a few bands on the main stages, the audio was so clean and the crowd was not heard in the mix and the they ignore the rest of the festival. If they tried even a bit they could bring the rest of festival to their audience. There's so much more going on and yet a few radio one DJs on their own stage and video from the other main stages does not show Glastonbury festival to the viewers or listeners. If this is the BBC representation of the Glastonbury festival what does this say about their representation of things I do not know about in their other output.

Turned it off in the end. Like watching one of your mates Ma's singing karaoke down the flat-roofed estate pub on a Sunday afternoon.

I suspect the BBC know what they're doing presenting Glastonbury largely as a family friendly procession of bands.
One the one hand it fits with their usual brand - nothing to scare the establishment. On the other, they know that if they spent 3 days devoting their coverage to tens of thousands people enjoying drug fueled mayhem the Daily Mail could have a field day slagging them and the fesitival off.
Also, if they went out into the site more it would put a downer on some of the festival goers experiences. How would Mr Uptight-Boss feel seeing Joanne from Accounts covered head to toe in body glitter, spliff in hand, eyes pointing in different directions, screaming acid gibberish down the lens onto his evening TV?

The papers have all reviewed it favourably too so dunno who these people who were there are.

I'm kind of with you on not wanting the BBC anywhere near the rest of the festival but I also hate the look at us self congratulatory shite that doubles as coverage. I'd like then to cover it sensitively. Small cameras and kit, with people that know the festival as guides. Show the smaller acts, performance act, live painting, theatre, people, poety, spoke work, leftfield, everything that's good. Wandering filming editing but with consent of those there. It's take more imagination than they seem capable of now.

not for long
Blimey I'm exhausted after Glastonbury.
I didn't go or anything, but had a full on weekend of staying up late watching it on telly.
I should have booked today off work to recover.

I can understand that, and it seems strange they don't do it, but I really, really hope they don't start dispatching Nathan Barley off to the Green Fields with his camera and gimbal.
Current arrangement works fine. They cover the huge and popular stuff going on over there, in turn funding the more interesting stuff going on over here. Last thing I really need is the BBC turning up to document my carefully calibrated munted debauchery, ta.

I'm an oldie really, don't really keep up with contemporary music, don't really like hiphop, grime etc - more into nurse with wound, coil, sun ra etc, but that Lizzo is so obviously talented she made me smile even though i've never heard of her before. If I was a kid in the crowd, i'd be having a great time i reckon. (Also: see Tierra Whack.)

I enjoyed them.

Had a good time, but not a classic.
Genuinely too hot for extended wandering at times.
Jade Bird, Sigrid, Killers and Liam Gallagher were my faves from the weekend, plus several others I never even caught the names of.
Watched The Cure but we got bored after 4 songs, crowd around us didn't seem that into it either.
Sacrilege perhaps, but Kylie wasn't that great either, glad she got her moment after 14 years but the set seemed poorly planned and quite lightweight. Miley Cyrus straight after was much better, vocally and energy-wise.
