    Is that the show with Dale Winton on a Saturday lunchtime? I haven't heard it in ages but it was always very good. Every so often they eschewed the well played chart entries in favour of the lost gem that hadn't been heard in years. Quality as usual from the BBC.

    Tony Blackburn has been presenting the show for the last few years.

    Listened to it the other day. Tony Blackburn appears to becoming somewhat of a parody of his former self.

    I'm sure that's what he intends - after all it's looking back. I like him (unusually, as in general Tony Fenton types don't impress me at all) - his style suits it and of course he presented the Top 40 on Radio One for a few years at the beginning of the 80's.

    Oh I was thinking of another show but I've heard the Tony Blackburn show also. Again quite good. Mind you, anytime I hear Tony Blackburn I can't help but think of Smashee & Nicey saying 'Charideeee'. :)
