Our group declare to be true- Elisia Fiorillo on "Who found who". Talent!
- "What do you want to make those eyes at me for" over a century old?! Even older than Shakey?!
- "Always on my mind", the best Christmas number one of the late 1980s?
- Warren G and The Prodigy on Radio 2? Not played in 1996.
- "Step by step", "Un-break my heart", utter soul classics.
- Haven't heard that Dunblane song in years. Or want to hear it again.
- "2 become 1", the third best Spice Girls number one of 1996.

'Our Gambo' was OK on BBC Radio 2's Pick Of The Pops but that style of show really benefits from more conversational elements as evident when someone/anyone took over from him when he was on holiday. Plus Gambo freely admitted it was the sort of thing he could do in his sleep without much in the way of prior research. Arguably a waste of a talented presenter given his extensive capabilities. #POTP
Glenn Medeiros on Pick of the Pops, with "Nothing's gonna change my love for you".
As much as I don't like drippy ballads, this one has a certain innocent charm. Very pleasant in small doses.
Glenn sung this live on Top of the Pops, and then was ambushed by a cake.

Glen Medeiros - Nothings Gonna Change My Love For You (Studio, TOTP)
Definitely-forgotten T'Pau single (I Will Be With You). #POTP #BBCRadio2
Brilliant key change. #POTP #BBCRadio2
Possibly the second-best Hazell Dean tune. #POTP #BBCRadio2
The Communards, being not-so-quietly subversive. #POTP #BBCRadio2
