Gorged in one sitting, with pop now all over my shirt. The episode with Andy Scott wearing the Wrexham rosette, which local people of a certain age talked about for YEARS. Timed perfectly with the previous club bandwagon (1978 being the only title win before 2023 of course!).

Thank you @chartmusictotp.bsky.social , @davidstubbs.bsky.social @simonprice.bsky.social for a great show , haven't been able to shake off the thought that Bruce Hornsby looks like an 80s version of Aussie cricketer Marnus Labuschagne without wanting to fuel the pre-Ashes hype #TOTP #ashes

By the way, we can't stop fantasising about a duet beween her off Orange Is The New Black - seen here in Nolan Sister incontinencewear on David Essex Apostraphe Showcase - and Eric Smallshaw. What suits best - You Don't Bring Me Flowers? Lucky Stars? Bonnie and Clyde?
