Episode 1 of 13

The first of a new series in which Bill Kenright plays his classic 50s and 60s tracks. The featured artists include Fats Domino, Tommy Steele, Eddie Cochran and The Chordettes.

Theatre impresario Bill Kenwright returns to share more favourite records from his youth, in the second series of his Golden Years.

There are classics and fondly-remembered songs for anyone who recalls their adolescence in the 1950s and 1960s. The featured artists include Fats Domino, Tommy Steele, Eddie Cochran, Buddy Holly and The Chordettes.

Bill's features include They Did It Better, in which he compares British tracks with their American incarnations; 20 Second Number One, which celebrates songs so catchy they don't need long to hook you in; plus songs which tell a story.
