Pick of the Pops
13.00, BBC Radio 2
Last week we didn’t get the billed episode because Tony was taken ill, so instead they flung out a standby episode, presumably recorded for just this instance, counting down the best-selling singles of the seventies and eighties – or something like it anyway, as it appeared to include all-time sales, hence the appearance in the seventies chart of Another Brick In The Wall (released December 1979) and Imagine (which never got higher than number six in the seventies) which didn’t seem quite right. If Tony’s fighting fit this week we should be getting 1973 and 1988, the latter with Doctorin’ The Tardis at number one which was at the top spot when we came back from holiday in Majorca and we were completely baffled.

I hope Tony’s in better health, then. Not that I didn’t enjoy Saturday’s episode – especially the 70s hour!
