The show I’d love to see again is “Top Score”, where he and Jeannie Lamb sing with the BBC Scottish Radio Orch under Brian Fahey - I think there was a quiz element involved too, the presenter was Leslie Blair - a tiny fraction of it cropped up on one of those blurry continuity videos ages ago…

Came FOURTH to Jack In The Box!
(Loved Danny Street’s voice, by the way - he was rather ubiquitous on the BBC for decades!)

She also sang it on Dee Time, and I always recall the long pan up from shoes to close up of face, right up the body, and the giggly stare she gave the camera on its final resting point!

Phil Vickery once did one on This Morning with marmalade, peanut butter, bacon and a potato galette. Tried it. Couldn’t eat anything else for the rest of the day. Felt a bit like Elvis.
It was nice, though.

My favourite nugget is that, in the tendering of themes by composers (one of whom was Eric “Carry On”
Rogers), Burt Rhodes played them all for the panel (headed by Ronnie H). They didn’t like any of them, at which point Burt said “I’ve got a little theme I’d like to suggest”. And it was chosen!

I did wonder - I thought you were going for Bernard Herrmann! (Or Ronald Hanmer 😂!) but so lovely to see the Batt pencil action! :-)

I’m envisaging that little orchestral “sting” at the end of a Barker monologue as he sits down now…

Have you ever heard WB sing in his role in the 1968 musical of The Canterbury Tales? A lovely voice, but also lots of character in it.

Poor Ivor Slaney. “Plays the oboe in tune”. That’s IT???
Quite the concept to have a woodwind quartet with rhythm section. Dennis Wilson’s lovely arrangements.

Did a wind band arrangement of this in my youth, and similarly transcribed the string phrase (I have always considered it the British version of the “I Will Survive” string phrase)…

She was at my first Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival. Fascinating composer, and so eloquent.

Tip was one of the social staff at Feathers Caravan Site, Whitley Bay, in the early 80s - he did the “morning jog” with the kids - so seeing his name on movies etc. thereafter always made me smile.

I was working on the South Bank for the second half of last year and the walk to work was always tinged with sadness at this.
