I just try and do the right thing and true to myself and stay positive. Distraction and doing the things that make you happy (without harming others) is key to good health. (And making silly jokes too!)

That’s totally fine - I’m dismayed (not a strong enough word) by what’s going on in the US and equally by what appears to be trickling through in the UK. In fact, the world over.

That’s almost as bad as the episode of Selwyn Froggitt.

That’s really sad news. That word is sometimes overused, but legendary is befitting such a great broadcaster. I was enjoying listening this broadcast just last week, it’s a worthwhile listen, just 4 friends just reminiscing about regional broadcasting. Goodnight Mr Tom. youtu.be/XRhk2av_n-o?...

When Jane Wiedlin emerged solo from the GoGo’s as well, that’s when it all got very difficult.

I think I have this too. Poor schoolboy sensation Michael Ward is typoed as “Michael Hard” on the reverse sleeve. (Well, it was on my copy!)

PREDICTION: The amazing new Bryce Miller Monster Mix of It's A Sin is going to appear in trailers for the finale of Celebrity Traitors. And very likely for lots of other things too.

We start with a double Theakston from 1998, shunted over to BBC2 because of athletics. Simply Red cover The Hollies, Cleopata cover The Jacksons and Sweetbox cover the Hamlet Cigars Advert.

Yes, the sound was a bit echoey on all 3 vids. Glad it’s back up now (in better quality)

Just WOW!
Sesame Street not known for straight live performances by bands, you wonder why more wasn’t made of this. Just incredible.

It's what television, your ears and your heart were all made for.

Just... wonderful.
