what's the stupidest/randomest Simpsons quote that lives in your head rent free? Mine is the urge to say "you said go to bread" every time I am about to head to bed.

Happy birthday to the new BBC radio networks, launched today in 1967. Part-time station BBC Radio 1 does pop; 2 takes on the Light Programme, the Third Programme, Network Three and the Third Network become Radio 3, and the Home Service becomes 4.

Needless to say, Radio 1 gets all the publicity.

Cover of the Radio Times, featuring a woman dancing in a Radio 1 shift dress.

Your first weekend on Radio 1, says the Radio Times. Tony Blackburn, Keith Skues, Emperor Rosco, Chris Denning (yes, we know), Pete Murray, Pete Brady, Johnny Moran, Mike Raven, Pete Drummond, Michael Aspel, Ed Stewart. Be a Radio 1-upman!

I honestly think closing all the news channels would do the country a favour. We don’t need that much news. There’s not enough happening. So many correspondents are paid to basically speculate and gossip to fill time. Take the news channel money and give it to Light Entertainment.

It is possible to cherish the BBC as an institution while also saying that BBC News is failing very badly, day after day, in its duty to inform and that it always fails in a right-wing direction. It desperately needs to recover its integrity
