    Because itā€™s actually good for folk to experience things they thought they didnā€™t like Ā ... Ā and because peopleā€™s tastes Ā change and develop ... if we hadnā€™t been exposed to a wider variety of foods many folk would still be existing on chicken nuggets, fishfingers, chips and spaghetti hoops Ā ... in fact Iā€™ve come across quite a few people who still are ... they say they donā€™t like other food but when I enquirer further theyā€™ve never tried anything else.Ā 

    Exactly why we need more Opera on TV.

    If I'd seen what it was , I'd have watched it, but if I was just scanning the listings, "Wimbledon" wouldn't have caught my eye.

    Didn't some football fans get turned on to opera when Pavarotti singing "Nessun dorma" was used as the theme for the world cup?
