Mark and Stuart celebrate the 40th anniversary of the first World Championships in Athletics with some agile and energetic athletic-themed tunes and chat

Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie present a feast of great music and chat for weekend breakfast

Today, to mark 40 years since the first World Championships in Athletics were held in Helsinki, Finland, Mark and Stuart play a selection of agile and energetic athletic-themed tunes. With music from Belle & Sebastian, Loma, Marcia Griffiths, Sprints, Flaming Lips, Jagwar Ma, Run-D.M.C and The Go! Team.

With a host of quality radio items including 'The Chain' - our world-famous list of over 8000 interconnected songs.

There’s also the chance to take part in ‘Tea Time Theme Time’, guessing the link between three top tunes.

Plus a finely balanced blend of new and old music, setting you up for a Sunday.
