'Cause we're all the same

Hey Friday fans! Looking good! Well maintained certainly! We had a farewell to producer Claire last night (a fabulous curry on Thursday! Imagine!) who has steered the good ship DRIVETIME over many decades/3 years. With style and panache, she has governed/chivvied/reminded/programmed/guffawed (good word I think) longer than anyone else has managed. So cheers Claire and look out Sara Cox! Look out the 80's!

Meantime and elsewhere...

Movie show with Cillian Murphy and Jamie Dornan who star in the World War 2 movie Anthropoid. This is not a sci-fi movie! Operation Anthropoid was the name given to the plot to assassinate Reynhard Heidrich who was the No 3 in the Nazi hierarchy and Cillian and Jamie have made a tense, unsettling thriller. Is the Slovak accent trickier than the Birmingham accent? Find out later...

Then the ARF with 1981 handpicked over the lime pickle as your opening year or requirement. The ZX81 is the computer of the moment, Charles and Di marry and Shergar wins the Derby. In the cinema it's Chariots of Fire, Arthur and An American Werewolf in London. And on the radio? What would Sir and Madam order?
