    Baker Street is certainly something that will never age and is always good to hear. At the time I think I thought the song was connected to Sherlock Holmes!

    Definitely a late replacement routine.

    I like this one. It's as cheesy as a mouse's banquet, but I can't help it.

    I thought they weren't showing Dave Lee Travis.

    Smashy and Nicey were Blackburn and Diddy Hamilton all the way.
    With a bit of Alan Freeman thrown in...

    I like the simple and direct but finely crafted honesty of 70s ballads.

    Bob Marley :mad:

    Don't like any of his music at all.

    Missing out on one of the very greatest music people.

    I've said it before and I'll say it again - Legs and Co really can't dance! My daughter just summed it up by saying the choreography is like you'd do if you were making a dance up in reception class!

    One track that the famed orchestra at least can't make a hash of :D

    This is a great song for radio, and Dan has a great face for radio too...

    Nice voice and song, shocking hair! :eek: Looks like the girl from Crystal Tips and Alistair after a trim and a dye job.

    Slightly unfortunate middle eight though - makes me think of the Kevin Whateley /Stella Gonet drama "Trip Trap".

    If anyone is interested on the background to Baker Street, the programme I heard is still on i-player. Here's the link:

    Hmmm.

    Buffalo Soldier is one of those songs I really hate with a passion.


    Earth, Wind And Fire - Fantasy: Good track! :)

    He reminded me a bit of Ian Anderson from Jethro Tull, looks wise anyway.

    Earth Wind and Fire were great. I only caught up with them in the mid 80s when I heard their 'The Collection' album.
