The Great Optigan Tune Mystery
Richard Savage looks into a piece of redundant technology that's making a comeback.
The Optigan keyboard was released in 1971. A piece of music played on one provoked debate and heaps of calls.
Richard Savage hears how an early synthesiser-type keyboard called the Optigan is making a comeback.
Canadian band The Crash Test Dummies used one on their new record, but it was a piece of music included in a report on the Optigan which provoked huge debate from listeners.
The music was described as being "instantly recognisable", have a listen and see what you think.
Also in the programme, the case of Derek and Jean Randall, who were found dead in their home in January, is revisited. A Serious Case Review began shortly afterwards, the results of which are published later in the morning.
Plus, Carroll's at the site of a new cycle route in East Northamptonshire as construction gets underway.
