Back to a Sunday lunchtime circa 1986 for the start of another edition of Highway Code-inspired AOR travelogue No Limits. Satellite by The Hooters cannot be far away. Plus a brief snatch of Steve Rider as Our Nige’s title bid goes up in flames.

Electric Dreams – The Giorgio Moroder Story
Monday, 22.00, BBC Radio 2Second part of this, where our hero moves slightly more towards the mainstream and starts penning film soundtracks, including the likes of Flashdance and Top Gun, plus of course The Never Ending Story which means we get to enjoy Limahl nestling alongside the rest of the heavyweight contributors, plus another film where his soundtrack is probably about a hundred times more famous now than the actual film. It’s the title of this programme, for a start.
