Returning to 1973 in the 'mystery year' and celebrating Charlie Dimmock's birthday in the 'tenuous tunes'

Nick and Robbie with 'gag of the week' and a listener's choice of 'fab 5' songs.

Tuesday's 'mystery year' of 1973 saw the launch of a car famed for its square - or Quartic to be precise - steering wheel, but which car was it and what was the year?

Answer: Austin Allegro.

Have a giggle with Nick and Roller Robbie as they tell the gags of the week as only they can. Our 'tenuous tunes' tonight are anything to with on this day when Charlie Dimmock was born.
