Sunny, cold, thicker knitwear. What ho and hear we go with our mid-week Drivetime prep. Hope all is good with you top bloggers. Enjoyed Johnny Marr last night, passionate, engaged and sorted. The vegan, teetotal, long-distance running version of JM was good company I thought - and that guitar sound! The power of T Rex on Top of the Pops!
Today we have the last of our Desert Island Books guests - none other than Ian Rankin. Ian has selected the 6 books that have shaped him, the ones he’d snatch from the shelves first. Ian has been on the show many times, usually talking Rebus so Ian on other books will be worth listening to.
And songs for TELEVISION as today marks the 80th anniversary of the opening the BBC TV service, the first regular high quality television anywhere. Watched on only 100 sets, the first show featured comedians, Chinese dancers and there was a song about the mystic, magic rays of TV. So TV songs please, but keep that radio first in your heart...
