'Longest week ever’ was one 3 worder that seemed to strike a chord. There is something about the first week back that can make it a struggle but that is all behind us now as THE WEEKEND IS HERE. Even if we mark the moment with fizzy water and nothing stronger. Latest health advice seems to suggest we might need to ease back a bit folks! A no-drink Monday-Thursday might do it. From next week.
So 2 shows today starting with movies on 5L from 2 and Eddie Redmayne talking The Danish Girl. Another astonishing performance from Eddie in the story of Danish artists Einar and Gerda Wegener. Einar becomes a transgender pioneer called Lili Elbe and both Eddie and Alicia Vikander who plays Gerda are unmissable. Eddie was very late for the interview but he flashed his smile at everyone and all was forgiven…
Then we kick off the ARF with some sounds from 1966. Yes it’s 50 years ago troops! Time magazine uses the phrase ‘swinging London’, Till Death Do Us Part and Camberwick Green debut on TV (something for everyone), Barclaycard becomes the first British credit card and there’s a World Cup to be won. And there’s some songs to choose. What’s your fancy?
