20 times!? That's like interviewers saying on TV to celebs "I've read your book at least a 100 times" - oh yeah.

OK then. Well at least 7.

London to Brighton in 4 minutes side by side - the original 1953 and the "remake" 30 years later that was on BBC4. Fascinating to see the stations that are not there anymore.

Grange Hill and The Golden Age of Childrens' Television; both on BBC4.

Top of the Pops Christmas 1979 special. Some real classics.

Ian Dury, Gary Numan, Elvis Costello, Blondie, Roxy, Buggles, M etc.

Plus that woman who tidies the hospital, Anita Ward.

She's a mate of A Neater 'Aris.

I'm recording that.

And BA Robertson singing Bang Bang which featured in the impossible Only Connect earlier this evening.

One of tonight's candidate was named Tozer. A nerdy man called Tozer...what was his nickname at school?

I thought that too.

Also: how short is Peter Powell? Maybe David 'Kid' Jenson is a giant?

What about Faye Tozer from Steps? She hasn't stated that she received any adverse teasing at stage school.

Yes, a mini evening of period progs., which was nice; but does anyone know the reason why?

It was a celebration of classic childrens' TV on the Beeb. My favourite scene in the 1986 series of Grange Hill was the superbly competent breakdancing.

Hmmm, OK - nice but I wonder where the London to Brighton in 4 minutes film fits in with that.

We're F**king Doomed in a few minutes!
