Another repeat programme tonight, I remember the Barbra Streisand/Sunset Boulevard story at the end of the show :wink: ..............as L&H have mentioned elsewhere Don played Matt singing the glorious On Days Like These :D ............but he played it not too long ago.

Yes, you are right Robert, sorry I should have posted here. I also thought it sounded familiar, but nice music all the same. :)

What's TMMF Maxine?

Does anyone listen to Desmond Carrington on Fiday nights? I listened to part of it last week.

L&H according to Radio Times Moira was playing Bert Kaempfert, Henry Mancini , Nancy Wilson and showcasing a classic album by Scott Walker 'Til The Band Comes In.

I can't imagine her presenting a music show as she doesn't have much personality.

Yes, I've just seen the music she played on this first programme Karl, but I think perhaps there's more to Moira Stuart than what we remember of her news deliverance.
I'll give it a listen anyhow.
