Reliving 1968 in the 'mystery year' with the Eagles in the 'fab 5'

Join Nick for Monday`s 'mystery year','fab 5','midnight love' and 'tenuous tunes'.

Tonight`s 'mystery year' goes back to 1968
and in this year John F Kennedy's widow Jackie re-married, but who did she marry?

Answer: Shipping tycoon Aristotle Onassis.

As usual Roller Robbie tries his arm at something which usually ends in disaster, can you work out what he has been up to with the clue?

Tonight`s 'tenuous tunes' are songs to do with household chores linked to on this day in 1910 - when A.J. Fisher received a patent for the electric washing machine and in 1930 - Betty Boop had her beginning in "Dizzy Dishes" created by Max Fleischer.
