  Leo Green was talking to Chris Evans this morning and mentioned he will be presenting this new show from the spring. Don't know whether this will be a permanent show or a now and again series

  
  This is interesting news but I would bet on it being an occasional show and broadcast in the slot at 10pm week nights.

  Radio 2 had this show on many years ago presented by Ronnie Hilton - a genuine 50's recording artist

  Not a fan of 50's music but I am enjoying his series on Van Morrison just now.

  It would be nice to have it back but we'll have to wait and see how it goes.

  I don't know if it moved to or from Saturday night, but I remember it on Saturday morning for an hour before Sounds of the Sixties, presented by Ronnie Hilton.

  It was moved around the schedules several times. When it started in 1990 it was on Saturday mornings 8.05-9.00, then repeated 12.05-1.00 on Sunday night/Monday morning. Later on it moved to 2.00pm on Saturdays, with the repeat later on the same day at 12.05am. By the time it finished in 1995, it had been reduced to a half hour slot at 6.30pm on Sundays, with the repeat remaining at 12.05 the following Saturday night.
