A 'mystery year' from 1983, a listener`s Fab 5 and Tommy Cooper jokes in gag of the week

Join Nick for Tuesday`s 'fab 5', 'midnight love','tenuous tunes' and 'gag of the week'.

Tuesday`s 'mystery year' is 1983. At the Oscars in this year, eight awards - which was the most ever won by a British film - went to which movie?

Answer: Richard Attenborough’s Gandhi.

There is 'gag of the week' with Nick and Roller Robbie, with a sprinkling of Tommy Cooper. Tenuous tunes are any song to do with 'looking' linked to on this day in 1985, when mail service was returned to a nudist colony in Florida where residents promised they would wear clothes or stay out of sight when the mailperson came to deliver.
