Oh thank you. I told the doctor straight up I am very claustrophobic so hopefully it will help on that decision. It really does terrify me, even for ten minutes or so.

Went to the hospital about my annoying eardrum buzz and they're sending me for an MRI which I wasn’t really expecting. As one of those raging claustrophobes, I'm not looking forward...

What TV programme do Jackie readers (and Dave Hill from Slade) hate the most in 1976? The answers may shock you! Assuming you're very easily startled by the word "Crossroads".

I'm not sure what was more strange about Tony Blackburn at the 1978 Swap Shop Awards. That he was dressed as Gonzo the Great or that he was neither up for nor presented an award despite many folk pulling double duty.

Our investigation into Noel Edmonds' appalling 1980 annual accidentally unearthed details of the bizarre record label Handkerchief Records, whose roster included the Animal Kwackers, Lenny Henry, show jumper Harvey Smith and "Skinflick". Enjoy the full book here, in vision youtu.be/gef6LUf8rmY

Just looked what BBC Two has in the 10pm slot this week for the comedy fan... QI (repeat), Gone Fishing (series 1 repeat) and Live At The Apollo (repeat). I remember thinking things were dire 20 years ago but I now realise I didn't know how good we had it.

I'd really like to see Rowan Atkinson live but I worry about the people who will get tickets hoping "Funny Mr Beans" will stand with a turkey on his head for 90 minutes.

I've been mocked many times for it in adulthood but I was absolutely terrified of E.T as a kid. Bear in mind this isn’t with context on video (probably a 17th gen copy at that) but just seeing his image. If I found that in my closet I'd stove its bastard heed in. #hesonlygotlittlelegs

Good lord yes, I was horrified by Worzel. Used to scream the house down when he appeared I'm told. Same with Metal Mickey for some reason.

🏮NEW EPISODE🏮 in which "ALF is accidentally photographed by a tabloid photographer." Yes, the show finally deals with a trope that has plagued us since episode one - how does nobody notice ALF sticking his hooter through the kitchen portal every single episode? Linktr.ee/ALFsplaining

Bonus nonsense from me this week as I celebrate World Animal Day with some of my favourite themed songs on the subject. You'd hate to disappoint Daisy Dog, wouldn't you? @noiseboxradio.com

And if you want more Noel madness for some inexplicable reason after #SwapShop, give this an eye, a subscribe and all your worldly possessions. Or just the first two if thats more convenient.

I'm not saying @noiseboxradio.com is the best radio station ever but we probably play "I Wanna Be A Winner" by Brown Sauce once a day. Yeah, look impressed. #SwapShop
