Bearded, Enigmatic and Sophisticated - and that's just the music on today's show.

On This Day clips have been lovingly mined from the BBC archive by the Beckapedia and cover Pluto, Ceefax, a big yellow digger and composer Lalo Schifrin.

Beckapedia also brings you a silly song with class.

We finally wave good bye to Yodel Of The Week with a classic yodel from Parliament.

Guy's sister Gina phones in another family diary entry.

Last but not least our Poet Laureate, Simon Armitage,chooses a Blur tune for your delectation.

Enjoy dearest nation.
