Video Annie...
An eye opener of a show last night. In the space of twenty minutes I found out that one of our listeners was related to one of Danny Wilson and another was the mystery girl in an Aztec Camera !
Annie on the e-mail says she is one of the woman featured in the video, but frustratingly won't reveal which one! "I'll only tell Mandi" she says, referring to my producer. "If she were to see it she would understand why" she adds mysteriously...
Having watched it on Youtube, I think she is either dungarees girl or the one doing the thing with the zip on her cardigan. C'mon Annie reveal all...

Just listened again to last nights show.
Does anyone know if the Matt Munro song 'Gonna Change the World' was ever the theme tune to a kids TV show?
When I heard it again I was struck by the TV image of someone running up to the top of a hill followed by some kids ('Come with us, run with us...').
I have a horrible suspicion that it could even have been Rod Hull and Emu.
Can anyone help as it's driving me mad!?
Thnx!

Perhaps this is why the i-player is having hiccups-can't digest Mr. Munro???Just a idle thort.

I did a Rod Hull search and found some horrific videos from Emu's The Pink Windmill Show. I remember watching this as a kid, oh the shame. In an effort to erase the luminous legwarmers and ugly kids from my mind, I think my brain somehow got it all mixed up wih the Matt Munro music.
Maybe there should be a From Working Class Roots night, that way Alan Price and Matt Munro can both arguably get a look in.
