OMG!ABC!NORWICH!

Lovely sunny school run, cheerful banter about tonight's football and the imminent marking/return of exam papers. Flags now turning up in a few places, adding to the post-Jubilee and pre-Olympic bunting and I was thinking that les enfants will have a lot to remember about this summer. Not the weather clearly as the grot returns tomorrow, but everything else seems pretty sparkly.

Really enjoyed yesterday and Sir Ken was just delightful. He manages to combine charm and talent in a way that is remarkable. He would have been happy to stay and talk longer I think; he looks great and the knighthood has really made him proud and settled. Oh, and the new Wallender is terrific stuff. Let's hope he's back soon!

Today we welcome Martin Fry of ABC to Drivetime. I reckon there are a few of you who will have purchased "The Lexicon of Love" in 1982. It was one of those albums that everyone seemed to have. Produced by Trevor Horn, it seemed to be everywhere; All of My Heart, Poison Arrow, The Look of Love, almost every track was played non-stop. There were more hits of course but 1982 and 1983 was a great time for Martin Fry. He has continued to sing and record and wear his gold lamé jacket. Please wear yours for today's show.

And so lets do SONGS OF THE ALPHABET defined in any way you wish.

Have a remarkable and sparkly Tuesday. See you after 5.
