Agree with everyone here. Best TV I've seen for ages...

Sam Cooke was shot. Great.

Thanks all for some great tips...will be setting off soon...and I think it's going to be... ... ... Head of Steam! All have a great day out :-)

3 of us meeting 2 others!

Oliver! at Birmingham Hippodrome. Excellent

Light My Fire by The Doors So after 30 days, and thanks to the person who has kept going all the way, we reach the end of the challenge. By going all the way back a year and asking what was my favourite I was listening to then? Fortunately because it’s all written down for all to see, I know...

Hi all - have been to Huddersfield ground a few times but never visited any of the local pubs - particularly interested that may be on the way from station to ground as meeting up with some friends coming across...any ideas on good pubs to visit before the game?

The Bare Necessities In a time before videos, DVDs and blu ray there was only one way for children to enjoy again and again the delight of a Disney film. Once it had passed on from the cinema and you’d seen it as many times as you could plea and beg with your mum and dad you were left with the...

Drive by The Cars I can’t be alone in this. As those opening strains of The Car’s Drive kick in, I’m instantly swept back to the harrowing images of Ethiopia that filled our screens in 1984 and 1985. I knew and loved The Car’s song before then and the classic Best Friend’s Girl but the moment...

Living in America - James Brown

ABC of Boogie Woogie - Jools Holland and Charlie Watts As someone with very low IQ (instrumental quotient) I’m not sure how I can answer this challenge. There’s the Deep Purple rift mentioned yesterday, some rather stilted Simon and Garfunkel numbers on the recorder and… well, actually that’s...

Fitter Happier by Radiohead OK, let’s get this straight. Since the age of 16 I’ve been able to play the first seven notes that form the opening to Deep Purple’s Smoke on the Water but that’s when I stop. I can’t move on to the eighth note. I can’t improvise, modulate or move up a scale or...

Where's me jumper by The Sultans of Ping FC Punk in the great tradition of Jilted John (Gordon the moron) and Splodgenessabounds (two pints of lager…). The story is set for a young man who has lost his jumper, and doesn’t know where to find it. He is wracked with angst at the repercussions...

Don't Stop Me Now - Queen The Redeemer's Song - Keith Green As this has recently been done on NSC If you could choose 1 song to be played at your funeral....... everybody else will have their answer ready, I guess. I struggled with this. Allegedly the most popular song played at funerals (if...

Marry You by Bruno Mars If, hypothetically I was to marry again today, then I guess it would have to be Marry You by Bruno Mars. This doesn’t state that we need to choose the slow embarrassing song. So nothing deep there, the song just does exactly what it says on the tin. It’s sentimental but...

So What by Miles Davis In the same way I struggled to be specific about music for feeling angry and happy, I certainly can’t claim particular music for sadness. So instead I’ll go for pensive and wistful. In which case, then my number one choice for p&w is the classic jazz album, A Kind of...

U Can't Touch This - Glee Cast Version This one minute nine seconds of happiness is the main justification I can see for Glee (that and Artie’s other great moment The Safety Dance flash mob in a mall) and a good one to slot in here. MC Hammer’s original is probably a bit of a joke now...

Welcome to the Jungle by Guns N' Roses I don’t necessarily seek out a particular song when I’m angry but there are various musical moments where I can go to vent. One favourite has to be the first brilliant album by The Alarm – Declaration. There is no need singing a song when you can shout...

Lord Is It Mine by Supertramp My favourite album always has been (well since I can recall having the concept of a favourite album) Breakfast in America by Supertramp. It’s come through all the formats over the decades. A bootlegged TDK C60 off a friend at a school with an unfortunate...

(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction by The Rolling Stones
