Mystery year is 1989, the Everly Brothers and Tornados

Join Nick and Roller Robbie for Thursday's late night entertainment and music.

In our 'mystery year' of 1989, John Major became Chancellor of the Exchequer but who did he replace?

Answer: Nigel Lawson.

Stretch your mind with Roller Robbie's riddle - What goes up and down, but never moves?

Our 'tenuous tunes' are songs to do with rainbows linked to on this day in 1939 when The Wizard of Oz premiered in the USA and Judy Garland became famous for the movie's song "Somewhere Over the Rainbow."
