'There were scenes of delight in Port Talbot tonight,
as news of the settlement spread.'
This is the apocryphal example handed down
through the generations as a warning against
writing singsong sentences. As you write, you should
appreciate that sentences have balance and rhythm.
The only reliable way to avoid scenes of delight is to
read your script out loud. There is absolutely no
shame in journalists talking to themselves in a radio
or television newsroom.
