Cliff Richard is in our 'mystery year' of 1980

Start the week with music from several decades and take part in the 'tenuous tunes'.

Tonight's 'mystery year' is 1980 when Cliff Richard was awarded an OBE in the Queen's New Year Honours, but how old is he?

TV theme tune: Crystal Tips and Alistair.

Can you guess what Roller Robbie's mystery object is from the sound clue?

On this day in 1911 Britain's first escalator went into use at Earl's Court Underground station. So our 'tenuous tunes' are songs that get you up and going.
