The 2025 Festive 50 countdown will be done over two nights this year.
We’ll have a bumper show on Sunday 21st counting down 50 to 21 and then the top 20 will be on Monday 22nd.
Exactly times to follow but probably around 8pm starts.
At least that’s the plan!

Wow - this guy must be really, REALLY bad with money if an extra £208 per month will “ruin” his retirement.
Let’s take a look at his situation based on what he told the @Telegraph

No, this is not a “poor pensioner” scrabbling around for pennies…

So #myiPod playthrough is nearly complete - You Won’t Find Another Fool Like Me is posted here because it was the first single I ever bought (with a record token I won in a kids BBC competition for my music-related joke)
