ORIGIN UNCERTAIN for this bunch of tales involving crime-cracking youths led by the titular teenager, played by SIMON TURNER. Ubiquity of bad haircuts at least confirmed mid-70s follicle foul-ups were a worldwide disease.

The People’s Songs
Wednesday, 22.00, BBC Radio 2This series certainly isn’t just aiming for the standard Radio 2 demographic as it’s been true to its word of covering the entire sphere of post-war British pop, and we mark the halfway point with another more recent tune in Cigarettes And Alcohol. The reason it’s here is because it became the unofficial anthem of the new lad, a movement that seemed quite exciting at the time. Remarkably Loaded is still going, even though we haven’t got a clue who reads it, but it’s probably still more relevant than the world’s worst magazine, the truly appalling GQ.
And I thought it was only me that remembered this. Vague recollections of an episode at a castle by the sea (Scotland ?) with a Purple MkII Ford Capri and an ‘Argo-Cat’. We weren’t normally allowed to watch ITV.
I thought this was going to be about QVC. They’re always on about Kim and Co.
