Tommy Cooper tells a gag or two and we return to 1985 in the 'mystery year'

Steve Springett on Tuesday's show with the 'fab 5', 'midnight love' and gag of the week.

Tonight's 'mystery year' is 1985.
Who in this year negotiated the release of four Britons held hostage in Libya?

Tuesday means it's 'gag of the week', which often means a contribution from Tommy Cooper courtesy of Roller Robbie.

Our 'tenuous tunes' are songs to do with the 'family' linked to on this day in 1974, when "The Partridge Family" television show ended.
