Remembering 1981 in the 'mystery year' and there is a double 'fab 5'

Join Steve Springett with Wednesday's selection of music and late night entertainment.

Our 'mystery year' tonight is 1981 and in this year the long-running comedy series "Hi-De-Hi" hit our TV screens, but what was the name of the holiday camp?

In Roller Robbie`s 'music box' he plays a well-known tune on whatever comes to hand and tonight it's a piece of plastic pipe, can you work out what the tune is?

In the 'tenuous tunes' the songs are all to do with 'threes and fours' linked to on this day in 1977 when the Police played their first show since changing from a quartet to a trio.
