I missed this on Saturday but Queens Of British Pop is repeated on Thursday night BBC4 at 11pm, I quote "Celebrating female singers who have influenced British pop music over the past 50 years, focusing first on artists such as Dusty Springfield & Sandie Shaw.

Have just been watching the One Show with Sandy Toksvig talking about a play she is doing of Dusty Springfield.

I rarely watch the One Show - however an off-broadway show on Dusty finished recently after 100+ performances and received great reviews,

There has also been talk for several years of a movie on Dusty. If it happens I hope it has the same standard as Funny Girl or Beyond The Sea as both of these films were excellent.

I would imagine it would be something worth looking out for and watching. Sandy Toksvig is a huge fan like yourself Karl.

Is she L&H? I don't know her but suddenly I like her!!!!

Yes, I saw the interview with Sandy Toksvig too Karl.

Maybe I can see it online?

I did see it online, goodness Dusty was mentioned for all of 20 seconds I think! Is there a Scandiavain conenction with Sandi Toksvig? I've never heard of her.

Sandy Toksvig was born in Copenhagen Karl. She is a comedian, presenter, author and has appeared on a number of shows as a pannelist, always appeared to be the most intelligent and entertaining on Call My Bluff with the late Alan Coren.

Thanks L&H
