Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie present a feast of great music and chat for weekend breakfast.

Today, they celebrate the 50th anniversary of the world鈥檚 first popular video game: Pong.

To mark the occasion, Mark and Stuart play some of their favourite video game related tunes.

There鈥檚 also a host of quality radio items including 'The Chain' - our world-famous list of over 8000 interconnected songs鈥� And there鈥檚 a chance for you to take part in 鈥楾ea Time Theme Time鈥�, guessing the link between three top tunes.

Plus a finely balanced blend of new and old music, setting you up for a Sunday.
