• During the BBC4 TV broadcast of the Prom on 19 July, the celebrity interval interviewee, actor Martin Freeman (star of the recent Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy movie), was asked about his involvement with classical music. He said that he had only been to one Prom before, ten years ago. The interviewer then asked why he had come to this concert and he said the draw had been the Vaughan Williams London Symphony. When asked how he had discovered Vaughan Williams he said that he had wandered into St Albans Cathedral one afternoon and heard a 'beautiful choir' rehearsing the Vaughan Williams Sea Symphony, and his interest had started from there.
