Yesterday are starting to show 'Sounds Of The Seventies' again, 2 episodes from 9pm.

It's funny to see these bitter brothers bitching about their far more talented siblings. David Knopfler and Dave Davies need a reality check. They were both a pair of chumps, compared to their much more talented respective brothers.

God almighty, there's some magic stuff on there!

Are you saying we should just post a bunch if 'em as Youtube clips in the thread or something? :-D

Problem is, if we're watching them, who's watching Beebrock??

Do you want Skid to annihilate us altogether Donie?

No, we will just have a little bit of fun doing a list when Neil Sedaka gets a repeat!....:D:p

***hides when Skid gets in from the pub***

btw, hiya, missed ye all recently!....:)

Ol' Donie · 26-03-2014 08:18PM

Oh, I see.

So, if they had a show about, say, Chaz and Dave, we could use it to discuss our favourite tunes?

Sounds like a good idea...probably need some thought, mind.

(How's it going? You picked a good couple of weeks to miss, in fairness!)

That's a big YES Donie......:(

I was thinking about my fav top 40 list OF ALL TIME!.......;)

As in "I'm bored out of my mind and I want to make you read this list I have in my mind's eye" sort of thing....

You are totally right!

And no. I didn't look up the advance listings before my sabbatical...;)

Ol' Donie · 26-03-2014 08:36PM

Sounds good! Top 40 time, cool.

It'll take a bit of thinking, for definite!

Ol' Donie · 27-03-2014 11:08AM

Yes! Totally looking forward to Friday, should be brilliant.

Think it was okay too - Chas and Dave talking I can take.

Skid X · 28-03-2014 03:08PM

I enjoyed the Chas and Dave programme last time. Really looking forward to the Squeeze Doc, that's new to me.

More trouble for DLT, it's increasingly unlikely that his TOTPs will make it to air

Former Radio 1 DJ Dave Lee Travis is to be charged with a further count of indecent assault, the Crown Prosecution Service has said.

Mr Travis, 68, already faces a re-trial on two counts, one of sexual assault and one of indecent assault, after a jury was unable to agree verdicts.

The Crown Prosecution Service said it had authorised police to charge Mr Travis with the extra offence.

Well, he was in the Green Room of the Saturday Night Show once.

But he didn't get on air, they must have had a really good guestlist that week.

Yet ANOTHER band I just don't get.

As well as a Top 40 tunes, i could probably make a Top 40 massive bands I just don't get!

Welsh Megaman · 28-03-2014 11:49PM

Rhiannon - great Welsh name!

grey_so_what · 28-03-2014 11:50PM
