Surprise, surprise!LOL! No chauvinism here!
Actually, although I personally have problems with the Lindsays myself, I'm not necessarily knocking that choice per se. It just seems to be yet another manifestation of a certain British characteristic well known in the rest of the world. ;-)
And BTW, the classical music programs on the BBC are often so wonderful and information rich that they put our classical broadcast programming in the US (what there is remaining of it) to shame. Many of the BBC announcers and hosts are VERY knowledgeable, and, for the most part, they're a joy to listen to - including the various "Building a Library" segments. I was just having a little fun with this particular choice. ;-)
